Head coach of the Ukraine national team Serhiy Rebrov shared his impressions of the match of the 13th round of the Ukrainian championship Dynamo vs Shakhtar (0:1) in an interview with Profutbol Digital.
Sergei Rebrov- There were worries that nobody would get injured, because there are a lot of injuries.
It was a very important game for both teams. Shakhtar won, but now I am only thinking about the next game of the national team.
I remember that when Dynamo and Shakhtar play, they are always principal games, regardless of the tournament. That is why there was a lot of struggle. It was a very interesting match. "Dynamo vs Shakhtar are the matches when all the players are determined to fight and win.
I watched the game with a different eye, I looked at the candidates for the national team. I liked the game, I saw how both teams tried to take points.
- Everyone is waiting for the application of the national team. Did it depend on this match?
- No, absolutely not.
- Is it already formed?
- When we formed the application last time, three players fell out. So now it is important that no one is injured. With Italy it will be a completely different game than with North Macedonia and Malta. All the candidates will be set for this game.
- Will there be any surprises in the squad?
- We don't have any surprises. If we call up a new player, is it a surprise? This player deserves a call-up.
I am grateful to the youth team, which gives a lot of candidates who deserve a call-up to the national team. We are looking at all the players. I am glad that there are Spanish specialists who help us and really work. I am glad that we are working together.
- Your words for the fans before the final with Italy?
- It's not a final. It's a game like the others. At the beginning of the qualifiers they said we have no chances, but now we have chances even in the last game. So I only wish that the fans support us, believe in us. We will do our best.
