Former footballer and current expert Maksym Feshchuk shared his expectations from the Euro 2024 match between the national teams of Ukraine and Belgium.
"Expectations are only one: I believe in the victory of our Cossacks. This is one result that satisfies me. Why not play to win? Even in the case of a draw, I calculated it that way, we can have the fourth place if Romania and Slovakia also play a draw. Somewhere a draw would probably be nice, but why play like that when we should play to win? Basically, as the players of the Ukraine national team tell in interviews.
To be honest, I expected a little bit better play from our national team. In fact, because very cool players and a great team. Perhaps, all the fans even have a little bit high expectations. But it's a credit to the guys, when they raised the bar like that, raised expectations from them. That's why I say again, Belgium is a top team.
With all due respect to Romania and Slovakia, it's a whole other level. Let me return to our friendly game with the Germans, where we played 0-0. Such a plan can be compared with the Belgians. We need to play for the result. A lot will depend on the coaches. To choose the right starting lineup, to calculate everything, to count everything. We need to play for the result," said Feshchuk.
