The Ukrainian national team will play a match in Tirana on November 19
Attack Ukrainian national team Roman Yaremchuk commented on the upcoming fight with Albania in the sixth round of Group 1 Division B Nations League 2024/25.
“We play away and such matches are always different from matches at home. Albania is a fairly powerful team and the previous match showed this very well. They have a good striker, a good defensive line, disciplined. We also have enough qualified footballers who can decide the match. We will focus on the fact that we need a win tomorrow and hope that there will be scoring chances to convert them, and this will affect us psychologically. will take the stress off of us so that everyone feels confident and brings their best game.”
“The field in the match with Georgia was the same for everyone. I don’t see any problems with this. The field withstood bad weather. We are professional football players and we must recover as quickly as possible after matches.”
“Sometimes there are matches when we don’t score or create chances, but that doesn’t mean the attacking players are bad. Last time Albania played almost all the time in the penalty area and it was difficult to find opportunities to score. I am confident that our team has great potential to create chances, score goals and get positive results. Of course, we want to play good football, but sometimes football has its ups and downs.”
“Of course we feel pressure, but that’s part of football. Our players play in top leagues, in big stadiums every week, and I don’t think the atmosphere will be a problem for us. The stadium can make a difference, but hopefully we can focus on the game.”
The meeting between Ukraine and Albania will take place on Tuesday, November 19, in Tirana. The match at the Air Albania stadium will start at 21:45 Kyiv time. The main referee will be Portuguese Joao Pinheiro. Vadim Skichko and Vitaly Kravchenko will comment on the broadcast on the Megogo platform.
Ukraine ranks last in Group B1 with only five points. Albania and Georgia have seven points each, while the leading Czech Republic has eight.
In the confrontation with Albania, Ukraine will only be satisfied with victory. A draw or defeat will automatically relegate the Blue-Yellows to Division C of the Nations League. To take second place and qualify for promotion, the blue-yellows, in addition to their own victory, also need the Georgian team to fail to win in the Czech Republic.
