Ihor Tsyhanyk, an employee of 1+1 media and commentator, expressed his opinion on the call-up of forward Nazariy Rusyn to the Ukrainian national team for the Euro 2024 qualifying matches.
"Yarmolenko and Tsygankov were injured. Rusyn, whom I know personally and love very much, was called up. But why did he deserve a call-up to the national team more than Hutsulyak? Rusyn has hardly played since the beginning of the season, and he is going to the national team right away. Hutsulyak played all the matches and scored goals. What is this stereotype? I already have a certain system in my head, but I don't want to voice it. It is not entirely clear to me. Why didn't Babenko deserve to be called up instead of Nazarina? Or do we only take players from Dynamo and Shakhtar? And only those who play abroad? This is, in fact, a serious question," Tsyganik said on Tsyganik Live.
