Former Dynamo and Ukraine coach Jozsef Szabo spoke about the 2024/2025 Nations League draw, which placed our national team in a group with the Czech Republic, Albania and Georgia.
- The group of the national team of Ukraine is weak. Perhaps the Czechs can only be singled out. Then there are the Albanians. The Czechoslovakian national team used to be strong. After the collapse, the Czech team became weaker. We can say that the Ukrainian national team is the strongest of the four. It will be possible to move up if necessary. In the League of Nations, not everyone is chasing wins, teams often field second teams. UEFA replaced friendly matches with this tournament. The Nations League is not of any fundamental importance. We'll see what Serhii Rebrov's attitude to this tournament will be. We always say that you need to play and win, but the coach understands that there are main players and substitutes. In such a tournament, all players have to play a certain amount of time, and not just come on for five minutes before the end of the match," said Jožef Jožefović.
Грузины играют "от души", шо попало и как карта ляжет, чехи уже несколько лет "меняют поколение" (Масопуст и сейчас там играет, но это совсем не тот Масопуст). А Албания есть Албания. То, что они прошли на ЧЕ - ещё не показатель.
Играть можно, выигрывать - нужно.
Смысл?
Ну, если не для выигрыша, то нафига вообще играть в футбол?
