The blue-yellow coach assures that his headquarters has a game plan, and that Ukraine will play to win in Batumi
Head coach Ukrainian national team Sergey Rebrov commented on the upcoming away match against Georgia in the 5th round of group B1 Nations League 2024/25.
“These are different games, and we prepare for each game, just like Georgia. Now we are playing in Georgia, the opponent will have a lot of support and I am sure that they will play more aggressively, but we have our own game plan and we must execute it.”
“Yesterday Dovbik had a training session. I hope he feels good and we’ll see you tomorrow [сыграет ли он]”
“Unfortunately, there are many players with micro-damages, quite tired players due to constant travel. Vanat will not take part in the meeting; he is still recovering. We hope he will recover for the next match. But the players who will come out tomorrow understand the responsibility of this game and will fight for Ukraine.”
“What is the state of the Georgian team? I don’t know, but there is information about them. Let’s see how it will be tomorrow. We must be ready for any scheme and must give battle to such a team.”
“Sabo’s words that Ukraine will lose to Georgia? He said and said. Everyone has their own opinion, but I don’t think one person’s words should count. We are preparing very seriously for a very important game.”
“At the national team level, the players are of a very high level, and everyone comes out to win. This game is very important for us. Tomorrow will be an interesting match and we will play to win.”
“How to play against Kvaratskhelia? Just like they tried to stop him in the first game. I don’t know what position he will play tomorrow. I respect this player very much, but Georgia has very high-level attacking players. It’s very interesting to play against them, but we have our own game plan.”
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.
Rebrov’s team did not avoid personnel losses. Experienced Genoa midfielder Ruslan Malinovsky has been injured for a long time. After the announcement of the application for the November matches LN-2024/25, goalkeeper Andrei Lunin (family circumstances), midfielders Viktor Tsygankov (injury) and Vitaly Buyalsky (injury) dropped out one by one. In addition, debutant Alexei Sych from Rukh replaced his colleague in the role, Dynamo right back Alexander Tymchik.
As for the strongest Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbik, his participation in the November matches of the national team is also in question. Before flying to the national team camp, Artem underwent a medical examination, examining his knee. Yesterday, two days before the confrontation with Georgia, the striker trained in the general group.
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.
