The former coach of the national team commented on the unsuccessful start of the Nations League by Rebrov’s charges.
The Ukrainian national team behaved very nervously in the matches against Albania and the Czech Republic in the Nations League, hence the unsuccessful result of these matches. This is what the former head coach of the national team, Miron Markevich, said.
In addition, the specialist noted the improvement in the second match in Prague compared to the first game against the Albanians.
“It was felt that after the first defeat with the Albanians, a “debriefing” took place in the team, but not all the mistakes were removed. It influenced the final result.
The Czechs acted aggressively, but in the first half they were unable to play in their style. And the substitutions made in the second half allowed our boys to add more, and they were about to save themselves from defeat. At least yesterday they were not as desperate as they were against the Albanians.
There was nervousness in our goal again after the high pass. It’s good that the visitors made sure they were few, but remember how the hosts scored their goals in the first half. It was especially annoying for the second one, which was already received in stoppage time. This means that there is not enough concentration. As you can see, there is a lot to do.
The Georgians have recently added to the organization of the game, and with the ball they are always friendly and have already made a name for themselves at the recent Euros in Germany. But since the strength of the participants in our group is approximately equal, all teams remain in the game and everything is subject to change. In particular, the leadership of both Georgians will be shaken if the Ukrainians prevail against them in the next round.
The situation is not yet critical, it can be corrected. Some positions really need strengthening. It is important to approach the October confrontation with the Georgians in the necessary psychological conditions. The enemy has a lot of confidence in his ability. Our men must remember that a successful performance in the League of Nations can be beneficial in winning a ticket to the World Cup. And this is exactly the task facing Sergei Rebrov and his wards. This peak needs to be covered, because I really don’t want to talk about the current players of the Ukrainian national team as an overrated generation,” Sport.ua quoted Markevich.
We remind you that the Ukrainian national team suffered its second consecutive defeat in the 2024/25 Nations League, losing a match to the Czech Republic with a score of 2:3.
Earlier, Sergei Rebrov named the reason for the loss of the Ukrainian national team in the Czech Republic.
