Famous Ukrainian coach Yuriy Virt commented on the draw for the final part of Euro 2024, in which the Ukrainian national team will play in Group E, where its rivals will be Belgium, Slovakia and Romania.
- Ukraine should take first place in this group to avoid the giants in the play-offs. Yes, Belgium is the favourite in our group, but this does not mean that the Ukrainians will only fight for second place. After all, we have a very strong team with players who play in the top European championships. The main thing is to avoid injuries.
If the Ukrainian national team plays as well in defence as they did against Italy, we can even beat the Belgians. The main thing is that we already have a clear plan for the coming months: we need to beat the national teams of Bosnia and Herzegovina, then Israel or Iceland, and at the Euros we can win matches against all three opponents. And all this is quite realistic," the expert said.
