Former Dynamo Kyiv midfielder Serhiy Kovalets talks about his impressions of the 2022 World Cup.
Sergey Kovalets“Unfortunately, not all matches of the 2022 World Cup can be seen live due to a power outage. Although I watch top fights on replay, and sometimes I use reviews.
For myself, I bet on the French national team. In my opinion, Didier Deschamps' wards look confident and powerful. And their leader Kylian Mbappe is in great shape.
Relegation of Belgium and Germany in the group stage? This has to be said with regret. This is especially true for the Germans, who cannot overcome the group round in the second tournament. For Bundestim, this is a failure. I think that after the 2014 World Cup, which Germany won, there was a failure in the preparation of the national team.
What disappointed you in this World Cup? The fact that the Ukrainian team does not participate. The weakest team, it seemed to me, was Wales. It's a shame that we lost to them one step away from the World Cup. Now we can talk hypothetically, but I'm still sure that if the Blue-Yellows were at the World Cup in Qatar, it would be a good tournament for us in terms of the quality of the game," Kovalets said.
