Former Tavria player Maksym Feshchuk commented on Ukraine's 2-1 victory over Slovakia in the second round of Euro 2024.
Maxim Feshchuk- The winners are not judged. I congratulate our country, the national team on the victory. But the game is far from perfect. There is room for improvement. To be honest, there is still a lot of potential, there is something to work on. It will be very cool for the coach and the guys to analyze their own game, taking into account the winning result. And there is a lot to analyze. There is a lot to work on, to correct.
Last time I pointed out the absence of Brazhko. Today he was in the starting lineup. I predicted a change in goal. As for me, we still missed Tsygankov. There is something to improve - team actions. The national team looks unconvincing, although I expected and predicted that they would win today. I watched the first half and had my doubts, indeed, I doubted a little. But I was waiting for a quick goal in the second half, and it came. Shaparenko scored a masterful goal. Zinchenko skillfully passed it to him. It was a very cool goal, and the second goal was also great. But the game itself - we still need to improve it to hope for a positive result with the Belgians.
Player of the match? I think Trubin played really well in goal, but he did his job. There were convenient moments for him when he parried shots, but these are his trump cards - the choice of position. Nevertheless, Shaparenko scored a goal and an assist, so we can say that he was the hero of the match in terms of his performance. But I expect more creativity and mobility from Shaparenko - I lack it in his performance," Feshchuk said.
