The captain of the national team does not consider the defeat to the Albanians in the Nations League as a sensational result.
Andrei Yarmolenko believes that the Ukrainian team should not beat Albania, because all teams have learned to play football, and there is no sensation in such defeats. The captain of the national team announced this in a press conference.
According to the footballer, all the players of the national team know that they have to fight for their country.
“Of course, after the match in Romania, each of the players who were in the position of the national team made conclusions, I think it was shown in our next game against the Slovak national team that it should not be considered that as if we entered the field and did not want to achieve a good result.
First of all, I came to this press conference to protect the boys. No need to attack them. We come and want to show the best football possible. But you must understand that all national teams have learned to play football.
No more easy games. The Albanian national team 5 years ago was a completely different team. They showed it in their Euro performance, they showed our game. That’s why I think everyone gave their best, but it’s football. We have to draw conclusions from such matches and move on.
What I can give to young people is experience. If a young player wants to ask me, I’m always open, always ready to help,” said Yarmolenko.
We remind you that the match Czech Republic – Ukraine will take place on Tuesday, September 10. The meeting will start at 21:45 Kyiv time.
Earlier, the head coach of the Ukrainian national team, Sergei Rebrov, shared his expectations from the upcoming Nations League match.
