Rebrov: I expect that in the match against Malta there will be a team that was on the field in the second half of the match against North Macedonia

The coach expects a positive result in the match against Malta

Head coach Ukrainian national team Sergey Rebrov shared his thoughts on the Europa Championship 2024 qualifier between the teams Ukraine And Malta.

“It is very important that the players adapt. We must respect each other, this is very important. 5-6 days is not enough, but we are trying to do everything quickly.”

“Yes, tomorrow we can expect a rotation of the squad. Tomorrow will play those players who are currently ready to play. I do not divide them into football players of the main and youth teams. Tomorrow you will see a different squad, we have to rotate. We will play the third match, but we’ll see what happens tomorrow.”

“I’m sure we’re in for a tough match. The Malta national team will also be tired, they also played in the last round. At this level they have enough players, they will prepare seriously. But we have to think about our game, but also respect the opponent. We will play different football. We should think about ourselves, not what others say about us.”

“I don’t like to single out anyone, because in the first half of the last match there was no team, but in the second there was. Today I showed the team how the players communicated with each other. It is important. No need to look for a leader, you need to work. I expect that tomorrow there will be a team that was on the field in the second half of the match against North Macedonia.”

“We discussed in which cities we will play in the future. The first matches are already almost certain. We have only two days, we need to prepare well for the new match. It will be very hot, so we need all the strength and we need to seriously prepare.”

The coach also decided to support the young players of the team and stressed that Ukraine would soon win.

“Mudrik? I talked to all the players. It’s not a problem that he doesn’t play much for Chelsea. This is the decision of the Chelsea coach. He works in training, he is good in training and matches. Everyone makes mistakes. Not only Mikhail, we should not single out one player. This is especially true for young players. I don’t like to single out players. Mudrik plays at Chelsea, I understand why he gets more attention because it’s a great club. But I think both Dynamo and Shakhtar are also great clubs.”

“Our people lack emotions. We constantly watch the news, constantly donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so we must give emotions to our people. Ukraine exists, Ukraine fights, Ukraine plays football. We will soon win and must return to our normal lives. We must help our army, and also do our best on the football field.”

After defeating North Macedonia in the third round of UEFA EURO 2024 qualifiers, the blue-yellows have collected three points and are second in Group C. England are in the lead, having won their third qualifying victory with a 4-0 defeat of Malta.

The match against the national team of Malta blue and yellow will be held in Trnava on June 19 at 19:00 Kyiv time.
