The head coach of the Ukrainian national team gave an interview before the qualifying match for Euro 2024.
Sergey Rebrov expects a difficult match in the qualification for Euro 2024 with Malta. The head coach of the Ukrainian national team recalled the first, nominally home match for the “blue-yellows” against the Maltese. Then, according to the specialist, the opponent acted very aggressively and created many opportunities.
In addition, the coach spoke about the personnel problems of the national team.
“Unfortunately, Malinovsky will not be able to participate in the meeting because he has three yellow cards. Denis Popov has recovered and started working with the general group. All players are recovering and ready for the match.
I believe that the Maltese played openly and tried to create chances in the first match; they are enough in the first half. We must be very focused – there is an important game ahead. As important as North Macedonia. I’m sure all the players understand what the match is going to be. It will be difficult, just like in Slovakia. That’s why we are seriously preparing.
Russian? Let’s see, there are still training sessions today. But I thank Nazariy – he is a professional, he works, there are no questions. Being called up to the national team means a lot of respect for him. He works together with all the guys, tomorrow he has a chance to appear in the lineup,” the official UAF website quotes Rebrov as saying.
We remind you that earlier the Ukrainian youth team successfully defeated their peers from England.
