Ukraine's national team failed to qualify for Euro 2024, finishing last in the group. NV journalist Andriy Pavlechko talked to Serhiy Tretiak. A close friend of Artem Milevsky harshly criticized the Ukrainian national team for failing to qualify for the 2024 European Championship.
"We are used to lying to ourselves. This is our national pastime. Andriy Shevchenko calls Zinchenko the greatest defender of our time. Half of Ukraine considers the national team to be the strongest in history. Everyone says that Mudryk, Sudakov and Dovbyk are world-class stars. Rebrov is the best and most experienced coach. Some experts saw us in the semifinals. F**k, all football people realized that this was fantastic nonsense, unclear for whom and why it was voiced.
It was the same after the failure: "Let's support them, they were unlucky, they played well in the last game, they were crying in the locker room," blah, blah. Who needs this? They are f**ked up to their knees. People did not fulfill the task. What will happen to the bus driver who didn't take the passengers to the end of the line? What about the turner who didn't fulfill the plan? What will happen to any employee who did a bad job? They will be scolded, fined, fired. So why should we feel sorry for highly paid employees who don't need any training? I don't give a f*ck if they cried, roared, wanked, it doesn't matter.
They let down millions of people in Ukraine who deserved a holiday. They deserve shame and humiliation. None of them fought. Three games at the limit of the pulse. Damned dudes, whose fate is to try to get back into the national team and atone for the shame. Rebrov, a man who coached Dynamo for two years, was essentially an apprentice, had one successful season in Hungary and the Champions League, and then left in his prime for the senior championship, cannot be considered experienced. People deserve a holiday. In today's terrible world, many do not have that much time to wait for the next football forum. Although, as they say, don't get too excited and you won't be disappointed," said Tretyak.
