"In my opinion, with the draw our national team was lucky. I always try to be cautious in predictions, but this time the situation is clear to me.

It is the Ukrainians who are the favourites for the group tournament. And this is by no means a hat-trick. I believe that in terms of class the Ukrainians are superior to their teammates. They can only prevent them from taking the first place, if they do not demonstrate their potential. But I believe that this will not happen and everything will be fine.

Moreover, I am convinced that Sergei Rebrov's charges should have no problems in March in the knockout matches for the right to play in the final part of the European Championship. Most of all I am glad that the competition for a place in the starting line-up is intensifying due to the emergence of young talents. And this helps us to progress," Sport.ua quoted Wirt as saying.
