The head coach of the Ukrainian national team Serhii Rebrov shared his emotions about the victory over North Macedonia in the Euro 2024 qualifiers on Suspilne TV.
Sergey Rebrov- Serhii Stanislavovych, how difficult was today's match against the North Macedonian national team?
- We understood that this team is of a very high level. This also applies to the attack. They created a lot of chances today, and we were ready for it. But, as I say, at this level, all teams are very difficult, all opponents are the best players in Europe. I repeat, it is difficult to play with everyone.
- Are you satisfied with the way your players played in attack?
- Yes, I am satisfied. We scored two goals. There were many chances, we need to improve our defensive play. But today the result was very important. We will analyse it and prepare for the next match.
- To what extent did the substitutes speed up the game?
- If Karavayev scored a goal, it means that he sped up the game. He dealt with this episode very well. All the players who came on the pitch understood what they were doing. I think they helped a lot at the end of the match.
- Our next opponent is Malta. How difficult will it be for us to play there?
- I think it will be difficult. In general, it is difficult to play in two days on the third, but Malta also plays in two days. It is very important to recover now. The next match is as important as today's.
