Midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyy summed up the results of yesterday's match with England (0:2) in the qualifying round of Euro 2024.
Ruslan Malinovsky"Today everyone tried to play soccer, we did not just kick the ball forward. We pressed well in the first half. Maybe we could have played better in the last phase, but England played high level soccer.
It was not easy, but it's only the first round - all the matches are ahead. Our goal is to take one of the first two places, which will give us the right to play in the European Championship. Because there is Italy, and the match with them is ahead.
We have a very good team. Today we tried to help Ruslan Petrovich Rotanyu as much as possible. We know him as a soccer player, a wonderful man and a professional, who always gave himself on the field. So with all due respect to him, we did everything he wanted to see in this match. Some things worked, some things did not, but that's the situation at the moment, and we support the coach as much as possible", - Malinovskiy said.
