Former Ukrainian national team midfielder Oleg Shelayev shared his impressions about the qualifying match Euro 2024 England - Ukraine (2-0), which was held yesterday in London.
Oleg Shelayev"You don't even need to look at the statistics of this meeting, everything was visible on the soccer field. We could very well have lost by a bigger score. Four or five missed goals would have hurt us all more, but it was only 0-2. Not so sad and not too shameful.
The English win was legitimate, there's nothing to discuss. England didn't give up the game when they scored two goals, they didn't really start the game from the beginning. The hosts were confident in their strength, in their superiority. From the first minutes there was no dynamics in the English, no aggression. Having calmly scored two goals, they were waiting for their chances further. If they wanted to improve their goal difference in the group stage, they would have easily done so," Shelayev said.
