Ukraine has had a poor start to the Nations League
National team footballer Ukraine Alexander Zinchenko After the defeat to the Czech Republic (2:3) in the second round of Division B1 of the Nations League, he called on fans not to extend criticism to the players and coaching staff separately.
“I understand that we all deserve criticism. The result, unfortunately, is what it is. But I would like to ask every fan and expert who speaks a lot outside the football field: I understand everything, we fully deserve criticism, but I would not attribute these negative results to anyone – the head coach or anyone else.”
“We are all a team: the coaching staff, the players. The players personally go out on the field and try to get a positive result. We all, as a team, win and lose together.”
“I would like to thank you for the incredible support at the stadium, and also after unsuccessful games in the past. The loyal fans are always with us, we feel them.”
