Poland - Ukraine - 3: 1. Post-match press conference. Serhiy Rebrov: "These matches are for making mistakes in them"

On Friday, June 7, the Ukrainian national team was defeated by Poland (1-3) in a friendly match in Warsaw. Here is the post-match press conference of the head coach of the Ukrainian national team, Serhiy Rebrov.

Serhiy REBROV, head coach of the Ukrainian national team:

- Our team has not lost for a long time. Can this defeat have any psychological impact?

- I believe that we play friendly matches in order to make mistakes in them. Football consists of many components. We lost in the fight, on standard positions. I do not believe that this game should be viewed only from a negative point of view. There were good moments, we tried to win back. This is very important information for us before the Euro.

-How would you comment on Taras Romanchuk's goal?

- I am pleased that the Ukrainian plays for the Polish national team. I've been working in the national team for only a year, I haven't seen this player, so I can't say anything. I am very happy for him because he is a Ukrainian player.

-How would you comment on the game of the Polish national team?

- You should ask their coach about their performance. It was an interesting sparring match for Poland, they won, these are important emotions before the Euro. But I will not evaluate the game of the Polish national team.

- Don't you think the Ukrainian national team was too aggressive, despite the friendly status of the match?

- Why was it too aggressive? Only at the end of the match was there an episode when Serhiy Sydorchuk crashed into an opponent in a fight. I didn't see any aggression on the part of both teams. It was a very important sparring match, the players tried to show their best in front of the coaches.
