The midfielder scored a goal in a friendly with Lechia
Midfielder Ukrainian national team Alexander Pikhalenok commented on the past sparring with Lechia (2:0) in Gdansk, Poland.
“Heavy rain, heavy field. Some things couldn’t be done on the field. But you still need to go out and play combinations. We’ll look at the theory to see what worked and what didn’t.”
“Preparations for Italy continue. You need to be ready not only tactically, but also physically.”
Pikhalyonok opened the scoring in the first half of the sparring with Lechia. After the break, Egor Nazarina scored the second goal.
The next match Rebrov’s team will play against Italy on November 20 in Leverkusen at the Bay Arena stadium, kick-off at 21:45 Kyiv time. At the end of October, ticket sales began for the final match of the blue-yellows in the group round of Euro 2024 qualifying.
The Ukrainian team takes second place in Group C with 13 points. Italy is in third place with ten points, having played one match less. Squadra Azzurra will host North Macedonia on November 17.
