Jozsef Szabo: "Did you see Sudakov in this match? Tsygankov is a nightmare. Mudryk is also zero"

Former coach of Dynamo Kyiv and the Ukrainian national team Jozsef Szabo commented on the defeat of the Ukrainian national team in the opening match of the Euro 2024 group stage against Romania (3:0).

"I was in a terrible mood after the game. To make so many mistakes like the Ukrainian national team did... Did they think they had already caught God by the beard?

In the first half, we lost tactically. The Romanians gave us the ball, and as soon as we moved to their half of the field, they started pressing. The Ukrainian national team did not have a single goal. Only two shots on goal and that's it! I did not watch the match to the end because there was nothing to see. The skill level of our players is lower than in Europe.

Does Lunin consider himself a great goalkeeper? Kick the ball somewhere when it's a difficult episode, and he wants to give it to his teammate. He gave it away - immediately an attack and they scored... Where did he kick it? This goal was his mistake. Lunin missed the second goal under his hands... Why say that he is better than Courtois? Lunin needs to leave Real Madrid, or he will sit on the bench and receive these millions.

Sudkov: They say that European clubs are watching him, but did you see Sudakov in this match? He has to play the game, be active. What did he do in the end? Nothing! I don't know why they want to buy him. Tsygankov is a nightmare. I don't know who wants to buy him. Dovbyk also did not show himself. At least someone from the Ukrainian national team had to show the level. No one did that. Mudryk is also zero. When playing in the Premier League, you need to show class, just like Tsygankov and Dovbyk in La Liga...

Football is an aggressive sport. Our national teams have zero aggression and zero tenths. I was torn on the field when I played and something didn't work out. If you ask these guys if they wanted to win today, what will they say? They were rolling the ball around in their own half. It turns out that the coach of the Romanian national team, Iordanescu, tactically outplayed Rebrov...

The next game is against Slovakia? The main thing is to be safe and calm at the back, and then we can somehow play on the counterattack, because we can't attack," Sabo said.
