Former Ukrainian national team player Andriy Polunin commented on Serhiy Rebrov's start in the Ukrainian national team.
- Serhii Rebrov has shown maximum results in all his previous teams - he became a champion with Dynamo, Ferencvaros, Al Ain. It is clear that Rebrov is unlikely to show anything spectacular in the first games. He will only assess the physical and psychological condition of the players, carefully study the opponents and choose the right tactics. And then everything is in the hands of the players. We must defeat the national teams of Northern Macedonia and Malta.
Injuries to Zinchenko and Yaremchuk? I don't think these losses will significantly weaken our team. After all, Roman Yaremchuk's readiness is not the best at the moment, he has no playing practice in Belgian side Brugge. And Zinchenko is in great shape, but we don't know whether Rebrov planned to use him on the left wing of the defence or in the centre of midfield. The main thing is that there is someone to replace Zinchenko in each of these positions," the expert said.
