Bagatskis: We played aggressively in defense, but it’s still shit

The coach was dissatisfied with the performance of his team after the break

Head coach of the Ukrainian national team Ainars Bagatskis commented on the performance of his wards against Italy in the selection for the 2023 World Cup (89:97).

Bagatskis singled out the disgusting performance of the players after the break and congratulated the Italian national team on winning a tense match.

“We did a good job in the first half. In the third quarter we lost aggression and Italy found the rhythm, they scored a lot, I think a lot of free kicks. Listen, if one team shoots 27 free throws in two quarters, and the second – six, then this is too much, ”the blue-yellow coach said at a press conference.

“On the other hand, I can say that we played aggressively in defense, but it’s still shit. This not normal. We tried to get back into the game, there were good chances, but we didn’t manage to do it. My congratulations to Italy.”

With six points in the asset, Ukraine is fifth in Group L. In the next match, the wards of Ainars Bagatskis will play with Iceland on August 27.
