The goalkeeper of the youth team of Ukraine said why the referee did not count the goal in the match.
Ruslan Nescheret told why the referee did not count his goal in the youth Euro 2023 match.
Remember that in the rivalry between Spain and Ukraine, in one of the stages, the goalkeeper put the ball in the game from his hands, but he could not do it normally – the ball went to the Spaniard who shot at the goal. However, the referee canceled this goal.
According to the goalkeeper of the Blue-Yellows, in that episode the forward of the Red Fury had a foul.
“The Spaniard hit me in the arm, and I couldn’t even throw that ball because of the inertia. So it was a foul. After that, he came to me and said he really hit me. Clinging to him, kind of. secretly .
You have to be easy in these games. Ruslan Rotan told us that we should enjoy this moment: we left the group. You have to enjoy it, play and make the fans happy.
Yes, I want to win. But we played well. Of course, you get upset when you agree at the last minute. It was very unpleasant for us, but for me as a goalkeeper, even more. A draw is a good result, because I think the boys played well.
Missed the goal in the last minutes? There are mistakes, sometimes a person is ignored, like in the first or second moment. But I think we had a decent game, and I’m pleased with what the boys did.
Honestly, I don’t know, I have to see what happened [в эпизоде со вторым пропущенным мячом]. Maybe concentration. Perhaps our defenders are very tired. That’s what happens in football. The Spaniards gave their best in this episode and scored a goal.
Setting up for the quarterfinals? As with all games, we tune in to the maximum. The training process won’t change, and we probably won’t play any differently. We must not deviate from our game and squeeze the maximum out of it.
Move to another city? I think the road is definitely not a determining factor. We should have a great desire to play for the people who are fighting today for us and our freedom. Therefore, the road is not a problem at all,” Suspilne Sport quotes Neshcheret.
It will be remembered that the Ukrainian youth team failed to beat their peers from Spain in the group round of Euro U-21, conceding a goal in the last minutes.
Earlier, the head coach of the youth national team of Ukraine, Ruslan Rotan, commented on the game against the Spanish national team.
