Rebrov said UEFA is forcing the Ukrainian national team to play a test match

UEFA forces the Ukrainian national team to play a friendly match, which is completely unnecessary for the team. The head coach of the national team, Sergei Rebrov, said this in an interview with VZBIRNA.

So according to the mentor, a duel was agreed upon Lechia Gdansk.

– For some, these are surprises, but I always say that if we call someone, it means that they deserve this call. They deserve it for their performance.

– Well, we hope he’s back in shape. There are some injuries among the players, but I think everyone will be ready for the national team games.

– There is no need now, but UEFA tells us that we must play this game. I believe that he is not needed now, but, unfortunately, we have to play this control game.

And the famous commentator Viktor Vatsko told the details of the embarrassing situation. According to him, the Italians began to put pressure on UEFA, which is thus trying to get an additional chance to qualify for Euro 2024. And first, UEFA wants to schedule a friendly match in Laos for in “blue-yellows”.

“You know that one of our most important trump cards in the match against Italy is that the Italians have a game against North Macedonia on November 17. While we have a free window, we can prepare objectively for the match against the Azzurra Squadra and expect him to spend a lot of effort in the match 3 days before our face-to-face meeting.

Of course, the Italians also understand this trump card of ours and they have started to put pressure on UEFA. What about UEFA? That’s right. As befits an organization that is as far away from everything as possible, it surrenders and enters the game on the Italian side.

UEFA forces our association to play a test match before the match against Italy. Sergey Rebrov vs. He didn’t want it and he didn’t plan it, but UEFA is stupid to bow to us. They even found a rival for the Ukrainian national team – the Laotian national team. And he was inclined to think that had to be played on November 17 – the same day as Italy’s match against North Macedonia.

Honestly, this is driving me crazy. The national team is forced to play a match it doesn’t want to play, which it doesn’t need. They push it to the highest level. But from our highest level they are silent. Facebook is closed. As a result, our coaching staff was able to solve this story. The Ukrainian national team will play a test match before the match in Italy, but will play on November 16 in Gdansk. There, Sergei Rebrov’s team will play a closed control match against the local Lechia. By the way, we agreed to do 10 substitutions, so it was a global training session.

Although no one doubts that the Italians will receive a video of this match, despite its secrecy. Therefore, Sergei Rebrov should think carefully about whether it is worth trying some tactical moments that he wants to hide from his opponent. Such rubbish, children, such attitude towards us, such justice in football. The sarcasm is off the charts. There are no words. Censored words,” said the journalist at Vatsko Live.
