The Ukrainian national team achieved an away draw against Georgia in the fifth round of the 2024/25 Nations League
Ex-striker Dynamo And Ukrainian national team Viktor Leonenko commented on the outcome of the fifth round match Nations League 2024/25 between Georgia And Ukraine (1:1), and also personally went through the leaders of Sergei Rebrov’s team.
“Who will I call the worst player of the match? All our leaders! Where is Sudakov? Where is our famous Shaparenko? Where is Dovbik? Our leaders drop out in every match, they simply don’t exist! Who saw our “Pichichi” in this match? The fans count on them, but we don’t see them on the field. Our leaders are only on paper; they force bloggers and journalists to write about themselves. That’s why nothing works out for us. The so-called leaders are not helping Rebrov at all.”
“This is just Dovbik’s level. In Girona and Roma he can score, but in the other team he cannot. So he’s not a star. For some reason Ronaldo and Messi score everywhere, that’s why they are stars.”
“Wise? This is not enough. You need to play more than two matches at the same level. When there is no result, everyone is very bad. The fact that Mishka 70 ran, shot, and the Georgian player scored is good, but not enough. They write so much about Mudrik that he himself should bring victories.”
“It was not clear why Mikolenko did not make runs along the flank. The coach either forbade him, or he himself got scared. He always ran forward, but in yesterday’s match we didn’t notice this, although his health is hella bad. Rebrov probably told him to close the zone and sit in left defense.”
“I already told Rebrov that he needs to think about how to create chances and sometimes take risks. He played in attack, but now he only thinks about defense. This is unclear to me. Something doesn’t add up between us. They say that the team is a star, but we do not know how to create chances and play attacking football. What kind of fucking stars are you?! This question needs to be asked in “What? Where? When?”. Let the experts think.”
Let us remind you that Rebrov’s team opened the scoring in the opening of the first half – Mikhail Mudrik’s cross was deflected into his own goal by Solomon Kvirkvelia. The hosts got even 14 minutes before the end – substitute Georges Mikautadze played the finishing touch after Trubin’s save. Following the results of the meeting, Anatoly took second place (13%) in the voting for the best player, losing the title of Lion of the Match to Mikhail Mudrik (58%).

The Ukrainian national team, having scored 5 points, is still last in its quartet, having more than a real chance of relegation to Division C. The fate of Sergei Rebrov’s team will be decided in the final match with the Albanian national team, which will take place in Tirana on November 19. To maintain registration in the Division In Ukraine, only a victory is needed; any other result will ensure the blue-yellows last place in the group.
