Famous Ukrainian coach Oleh Fedorchuk shared his expectations from today's friendly match between the national teams of Moldova and Ukraine.
Oleg Fedorchuk- Don't believe those who say that the result in sparring matches is not important. There are no trifles in football, which is why you should always try to achieve a positive result. In my opinion, it is very important to finish the friendly with Moldova on a major note in order to return to Germany in a good mood and prepare for the opening match against Romania.
- At the pre-match press conference, Serhii Rebrov said that he would give the opportunity to play to those players who did not have enough game practice.
- You know, it is important for Rebrov that his players are in the same functional condition. Moreover, I think that the manager has already decided by 90 percent who will start against Romania.
- What positions do you think Rebrov still has uncertainty with?
- As for me, who will play on the left in defense, because Vitaliy Mykolenko and Oleksandr Zinchenko are not yet in fighting shape. Although Mykola Matvienko can still play in this position, and Oleksandr Svatko can be given a chance in the center of defense.
- What vulnerabilities did the Ukrainian national team have in the control matches with Germany and Poland?
- There is still no chemistry between the holding midfielders and the stopper, but our helplessness in the play of standard positions near our goal was an unpleasant surprise. These shortcomings need to be addressed promptly.
- What can Serhii Rebrov's wards expect at Euro 2024?
- Leaving the group is realistic. Further, much will depend on the draw. Getting into the top eight will be a great achievement.
