Legendary Ukrainian coach Vitaliy Kvartsyanyi said what he expects from the friendly match between Germany and Ukraine, which will be held today in Nuremberg.
- I will be rooting for Ukraine in this match - that's for sure. I do not think that it will be 3:3 (the result of the friendly match between Germany and Ukraine a year ago - ed.). I think the German coaching staff will want to test most of the players.
I don't know if Borussia Dortmund players will be involved in the meeting, who have just returned from London, where they played against Real Madrid in the Champions League final. Most likely, Julian Nagelsmann will give them a rest.
From the match in Nuremberg I expect an interesting game, because each of the players of both national teams must fight to get into the squad for Euro 2024. If someone doesn't make it or doesn't finish the game, he won't get into it. So we need to play within the squad.
I think the game will be quite serious. About 80 per cent. Still, the players will have some self-preservation. They will not kill themselves in jumps, because it can be broken. However, they will try to show, so to speak, hidden maximalism. Something from the category of "everything, but not quite", - said Kvartsyaniy.
