The Ukrainian national team managed to make it to Euro 2024 through the play-offs. On its way, Serhii Rebrov's team defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland, but of course, it was not without Validol for Ukrainian fans.
Viktor VatskoThese two March matches of the Ukrainian national team "ate up" a lot of nerves and emotions among its fans. The well-known commentator Viktor Vatsko gave an interesting and funny version of the national team's game in his author's programme on Youtube. The journalist said that while watching the national team's matches, he had the impression that Serhiy Rebrov was secretly being helped by the head of the GUR, Kirill Budanov, to manage the team's game.
"After setting up Serhiy Stanislavovych's game, I can hear a slight alaverdi from Kirill Alekseevich. "So, yes. Did you hear what the coach said? But first, we mislead everyone, we encrypt ourselves, we pretend to be dead. We show with all our appearance that football is not really our thing, that we saw the ball for the first time in our lives, on the eve of the match.
Let them laugh at us, score a goal against us, underestimate our level. And then, like the young Sylvester Stallone in the film Rambo, we jump out of the swamp with a knife in our teeth and a bandage on our head. We take everyone by surprise, score two goals, the opponent is in awe, everyone claps their hands, and the whole of Ukraine is happy," Vatsko said with humour.
