Well-known manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovailo shared his impressions of the match of the 2nd round of the group stage of Euro-2024 Slovakia - Ukraine (2:1), which took place yesterday in Düsseldorf.
Vyacheslav Zakhovaylo"We got three points, I would even say that we suffered. The construction of our defense is unconvincing. They open us up as they want and where they want.
In professional soccer, psychology plays the most important role. It is very striking that the team is psychologically overheated in a bad sense. Here are the arguments.
Ukraine after the first conceded goal from the Romanians, and before the first goal scored to the Slovaks looked terribly depressed. The reason? Fear of losing and great responsibility. It constrained the players.
There was a great stretch of the game against the Romanians before the conceded goal. And we started to act well after scoring a goal to the Slovaks. My conclusion: the players are under a lot of pressure.
In the defensive unit our edge defenders are falling out. The interaction between our support zone and central defenders is just a disaster.
Today we played against a weak opponent. The Slovakian team is just quiet, the players simply have no speed.
It's good to win. Good luck to everyone. Glory to Ukraine!", - wrote Zakhovailo on his page in the social network Facebook.
