The French specialist insists that he focuses on the game, not the results
Head coach Georgian national team Willie Sagnol commented on the upcoming home match against Ukraine in the 5th round of group B1 Nations League 2024/25.
“Unfortunately, I cheated in math at school. If we win two matches, we will be first, that’s all I can say. But I can’t say that this is our goal – to be first or to win matches. Our goal is to try to show our best capabilities. In this case, you usually get something you deserve in the end. For me the most important thing is the game, I focus not on the result, but on individual and team play [футболистов]”
“We always want to attack, but we don’t always succeed. Ukraine is a very strong team, they showed it last month. But before we think about attacking or scoring a goal, we need to think about being more aggressive on the field than we showed in October. In this aspect we failed. Therefore, I expect more aggressiveness from the players.”
Today the Ukrainian team arrived in Batumi after a period of preparation in Belek, Turkey. Tomorrow, November 16, Ukraine will play with the Georgian national team. The meeting will take place at the Adjara Bet Arena. The game starts at 19:00 Kyiv time.
The match will be judged by the English team of referees led by Chris Kavanagh. The official broadcast of the fight will take place on the OTT platform MEGOGO, and Vadim Skichko and Sergey Lukyanenko will commentate on the game.
After a meeting with Willy Sagnol’s team, the blue-yellows will travel to Tirana, where they will meet Albania on November 19. Let us note that the Ukrainian national team now has four points and occupies last place in Group 1 of Division B of the League of Nations.
