Journalist Mykhailo Spivakovsky commented on Ukraine's victory over Slovakia in the Euro 2024 match.
"The fears I had that we were not physically ready for this tournament did not materialize. If we were not functionally ready, we could simply not play any further. No, at least against the background of Slovakia, where there are also age players, we were ready. I think this is one of the levers that contributed to the positive result. In the second half, we were not only more focused on the goal, we were better prepared.
The structure of the team's play was better, the mood was better. The structure itself gave us more opportunities and opportunities to use the best qualities of our leaders. I think the team became more controlled. That is, obviously, Rebrov has drawn conclusions and no longer allows amateurism during a major tournament," TaToTake telegram channel quoted Spivakovsky as saying.
