Renowned journalist Roberto Morales told us what he expects from the friendly match between Germany and Ukraine to take place today in Bremen.
"A new chapter in the history of the Ukraine national team will begin in Bremen. Serhiy Rebrov has already become its coach and fully staffed his coaching staff. As in the days of Andriy Shevchenko, the team will be coached predominantly by the representatives of the Latin school of football. This time it will not be Italians, but Spaniards. Thus, we should expect a renewed emphasis on the ability to control and move the ball, something that has been rare in the history of the Ukraine national team.
For the Bundesmanschaft, this friendly will be the anniversary, the thousandth game in the history. While the German national team are still struggling. Replacing Joha Leve with his former assistant Hansi Flick has yet to produce a result. In the Nations League, they had shameful encounters against Hungary, and their trip to Qatar for the World Cup ended in failure (they did not make the group).
In March, Flick's men played two friendlies: in Mainz, they easily beat Peru 2-0, but in Cologne, they lost to Belgium 2-3," Morales said.
