Anatoly is also grateful to the fans for their support
National team goalkeeper Ukraine Anatoly Trubin commented on the victory of the blue-yellows over Malta (1:0) in the qualification for Euro 2024. Trubin also shared his impressions of working with the new national team goalkeeping coach Rustam Khudzhamov.
“OK good [не пропустить]. All goalkeepers love not to concede. The most important thing is for the team to win. Of course, failed to score [против Мальты] more than one goal, but they took three points – this is the most important thing.
“We continue on our way. There was not much time, but everyone wanted and tried to absorb like a sponge what the head coach requires. So it’s good that we won. Not the way we wanted, but we have six points.”
“Working with Khudzhamov? Certainly, [есть что-то новое]. Every coach, be it head or goalkeepers, has his own approach. With each coach you learn something new, new exercises. It is very pleasant that there is such an opportunity to work with Rustam. For me, it’s great.”
“I remember how I was small, I still watched how he [играл] in Shakhtar, and even earlier – in FC Kharkiv. It is very pleasant for me: a person who has played and is just starting his coaching career. He still has everything ahead of him.”
“After the UPL for me, any [матч] with the fans – like a balm for the soul. It’s true – football is not the same without fans. Therefore, I am glad that even in Slovakia people came to cheer for us. It’s very cool, I want us to play at home as soon as possible, then I think the support will be crazy.”
Ukraine got a minimal victory over Malta with a score of 1:0. The winning goal was scored by midfielder Viktor Tsygankov.
The Ukrainian national team scored six points and climbed to second place in group C of qualification for Euro 2024. England remains in first place, having won all four of their matches in the current qualifier.
The next match of the qualifying round for the European Championship-2024, the Ukrainian team will play with the British. Next, the blue-yellows will meet with Italy. Both fights will take place in September.
