Head coach of the Ukrainian national team Serhii Rebrov commented on the results of the 2024/25 Nations League draw, according to which the Ukrainian national team will compete in a group with the Czech Republic, Albania and Georgia.
Сергій Ребров"In fact, I didn't expect anything from the Nations League draw, as we are now waiting for the Euro 2024 play-offs. After the play-offs, we will collect information about all these teams. Now, I think, we should focus on preparing for the March exams.
I watched a lot of Czech Republic and Albania, less Georgia. The Albanians play strong football and deserve to play at the Euros. So have the Czechs and the Georgians, who will play in the play-offs. I am sure that there will be a tough fight in our group.
Yes, we are now focused on preparing for the play-offs. But I believe that the Nations League is an important tournament. All teams have the opportunity to get to the Euros through it. Previously, there were friendly matches, but now each team has more important matches.
Will there be a goal of returning to League A? Yes.
As for participation in the UEFA Congress, I was there as the coach of the national team. I supported Andriy Shevchenko, I liked the Congress, everything went as planned.
As for the work of the Ukrainian teams at the winter training camp, it was interesting for me as the UAF vice-president to see all the teams as much as I had time. I looked not only at the candidates for the national team, but also at the preparation of all the teams. It is important that we have a good second part of the Ukrainian championship. That's why I went there not only as a coach of the national team," said Serhii Rebrov.
