The former first racket of Ukraine said that “a lost battle is not the end of the story”
Famous Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina spoke with words of support addressed to Ukrainian national football team after her crushing defeat from Romania in the first round European Championship 2024.
“Unity, support and help is what we have been demonstrating to the whole world in recent years.”
“A lost battle is not the end of the story. This is motivation to become better and fight harder.”
“Together we support our team in the match against Slovakia. We believe in the team, we believe in our team. Ukraine is above all!”
Let us remind you that yesterday, June 17, the blue-yellows started at the continental forum with a crushing defeat from the Romanian national team – 0:3.
Edward Yordanescu’s team won the first half minimally thanks to a goal after intercepting Andrei Lunin’s pass from his own goal, and immediately after the break they struck a double blow. First, the Romanians carried out a counterattack, and then achieved defeat after winning the ball from a corner with the inexplicable passivity of the Ukrainian defense.
The match against Romania was the 12th for Ukraine in the finals of the European Championship. The blue-and-yellows suffered their ninth defeat, and they invariably lost in each of the matches. Moreover: for the second forum in a row, the Ukrainian team missed three times in the opening match.
In the second round, Ukraine will play on June 21 with Slovakia, which yesterday sensationally beat Belgium (1:0). The meeting in Dusseldorf starts at 16:00.
In the final match of the group stage, Sergei Rebrov’s team will meet Belgium on June 26.
