The head coach of the Ukrainian national football team, Serhiy Rebrov, has spoken about the attitude towards the Russian-Ukrainian war in the Middle East.
Sergei Rebrov- They are really not interested in it. But I remember, everyone in my team supported Ukraine. If you remember, when we won the UAE championship, everyone took pictures with the Ukrainian flag. The whole team was there for us and helped us.
Even now, when Andriy Yarmolenko played in Al Ain, everyone respected him. When I asked the players, yes - they hear about the war, they support it, but the Emirates is a very neutral country, where they do not even give permission to bring the flag into the stadium.
Yes, you can't be in the stadium with a flag. It was a surprise for me that they allowed me to take the flag, because the country itself is very neutral and it is very difficult to change something there," Rebrov said in an interview with Bombardir.
