— Young guys played, my staff and I entrusted them to play. They won. We will analyze the mistakes, but I am pleased with the result, the game and the dedication of the guys.
I was happy for Tsygankov, who scored the first goal under my leadership. I’m happy and he’s happy.
This victory is a pain reliever after losing to Wales. The guys backed off a bit. Today I put out the young guys. He gave Yarmolenko a rest. It was very hard for him, I didn’t even include him in the reserve. Those who did not play today will train and prepare for Armenia tomorrow.
The guys came out and played according to this scheme. Won. You don’t like this scheme?
Why did Ireland create so many chances after set pieces in the second half?
They are all 1.95 meters. What we can do? The guys fought on the second floor as best they could. But they didn’t score. What should I do? Fill the football players with a platform to make them taller?
– What are the tasks for the League of Nations, considering that today they did not play with the main squad?
– A priori, the national team cannot have the first and second squads. This is not the first and second squad, but the guys who played little. I gave them playing time. They went out and played. There will be good competition. And there are no first and second squads in the national team, it cannot be like that.
And the tasks are to return to Division A of the League of Nations and reach Euro 2024 in Germany.
In the next match of the League of Nations, Ukraine will play with Armenia on Saturday, June 11. The game will take place in Lodz, starting at 16:00 Kyiv time.
