Ukraine's goalkeeping coach Rustam Khudzhamov commented on the start of the national team's preparations for the semi-final play-off match of the Euro 2024 qualifiers with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Rustam Khudzhamov- The head coach involves all goalkeepers in the work. The guys worked a lot on their footwork, because it is very important in modern football. I once talked to the goalkeeping coach of Real Madrid, and he said that it is very cool when there is constant communication between the head coach and the goalkeeping coach. We have it in our team.
Each team has its own specific keys that it picks up to the opponent's defence, more or less pronounced. Therefore, the goalkeeper must be ready for anything and understand how the next opponent will attack. And we can certainly prepare for this. Although our goalkeepers were a little tired in the first session, they worked on a 105 per cent battery. It's okay, they will rest and have another intense day tomorrow," Khudzhamov said.
