Former Ukraine striker Ivan Getsko is convinced that the whole team, not individual players, lost to Romania in the first round of Euro 2024.
- We got a big shock. Before the European Championship, Ukrainian footballers were elevated to the very heavens, some were predicted to be the best in many categories, and were predicted to move to top European clubs for big money. And they not only lost to an average team, but also didn't create a single goal. Isn't it shameful that the Ukrainians struck the first shot on goal only in the 77th minute? Serhiy Rebrov took big stars to the Euros, but it turned out that the stars did not shine.
The main reason is underestimation of the opponent. Otherwise, how can we explain the fact that the Ukrainians showed a much lower level of play?" the expert told Expres.
