The President of the Ukrainian Football Association commented on the match against Iceland and the team’s entry into Euro 2024.
Andriy Shevchenko spoke about the passage of the national team to Euro 2024 in Germany. According to the President of the Ukrainian Football Association, the match against Iceland is very difficult, because there is nervousness in the actions of our players.
Separately, Shevchenko mentioned the work of the head coach of the “blue-yellows” Sergei Rebrov, who took over the team at a very difficult moment.
“It was a very difficult match against Iceland. We understand that when you make a mistake, it can cost you a lot. Some nervousness was visible, but in the second half we started to control the ball, the boys took control of the game. What a great goal by Tsygankov, we missed him in the first game.
I’m very happy for Mudryk, who scored the second goal, he’s gaining momentum. We will expect the best from him at the Euros.
We had 100% faith in our players and coaching staff.
Sergei Stanislavovich did an incredible job. He took the team at a very difficult time and completely changed it. The team has a strong character.
It is very important that even if we lose 0:1, we understand that we will not be broken and will play until the end. The team did everything. We saw a lot of comebacks in this qualifying round, but I think this is the best. We believed in our success, believed in us. We have very talented people, we can overcome anything,” Shevchenko said in a comment to the UAF press service.
Let’s recall that earlier Miron Markevich compared the roles of Dovbik and Yaremchuk in the Ukrainian national team.
