Carlo Nicolini considers the Ukrainian players to be very talented and predicts the fate of the team as a “dark horse”.
The Ukrainian national football team manages to impress the world football community with its performance at Euro 2024. This is what Carlo Nicolini, a member of Shakhtar’s coaching staff, thinks.
The specialist called the “blue-yellows” a young team with talented players, capable of playing in different formations.
He also predicts the fate of the Ukrainians as a “dark horse” in the upcoming European Championships in Germany.
“Ukraine really wants to qualify, also because of everything that is happening in the country outside of football. I think Ukraine can be a dark horse in the European Championship. They are a young team with interesting players .Qualifying for Euro 2024 also gives hope to a country that can experience positive emotions through sport.
Ukraine is a team that can play with different formations, we have already seen this as they are in the same qualifying group as Italy. Ukraine has talent and tactics. Seven or eight players play in England and abroad, as well as my teammates at Shakhtar, here they always get into the Champions League.
Rebrov on the bench and Shevchenko at the head of the Ukrainian Football Association bring experience, they bring authority. The level of the Ukrainian team has grown, and, again, some of the players are incredibly talented. They are great professionals, there are important players in every position, and two or three are amazing for me. They also have two very strong goalies.
Sudakov? He played a great match against Iceland. I am very proud of his progress. Having seven Shakhtar players in the national team and all playing abroad makes me very happy, and I am happy with the qualifications they achieved against Iceland,” said Nicolini in an interview with Napoli Magazine.
We remind you that Andrei Shevchenko previously commented on the match against Iceland and the entry of the national team into Euro 2024.
