Myron Markevych: "They have been waiting for Rebrov for three years. The "messiah" will come and save Ukrainian football"

Famous Ukrainian coach Myron Markevych expressed his opinion on the Euro 2024 qualifying match between England and Ukraine.

"You can see in the players' eyes when they take the field that they will fight for every ball today. And here, even on TV, you can see that they are all doomed. No fight, one card per game, one card! Where is this in football? Lose, but make all the beaten leave the field. It's just unrealistic in a stadium like this, against a team like this, and with the support they had. A lot of fans are fighting at the front, the fans of Dnipro and Metalist, I am in touch with them. I know they all watched the match, no matter what.

The head coach should have been at the game, not the acting coach. Let Rotan be there, no questions asked. Rebrov has been waiting for three years. The "messiah" will come and save Ukrainian football. So let him say: "I will definitely take the Ukrainian national team in the summer." I haven't heard that yet.

With such a team, you have to run a lot and not let them play. With such teams, you can't do anything standing still. The English didn't even try hard, I was expecting something completely different. With the score 0-2, we had to show our character somewhere. But if you don't take a single shot in a game, it's hard to expect anything," Markevych said on the Football Format program on Espresso TV channel.
