Former Dynamo Kyiv forward Viktor Leonenko told us what he thinks about the prospects of the Ukrainian national team at the 2024 Olympics. It will be recalled that Iraq, Morocco and Argentina will be the rivals of the Blue and Yellows in the group stage of the tournament.
"As a rule, we perform well at the youth level. But where are our world champions at the adult level? A good example is the guy with the letter "C" who scored two goals in the final. Where is Supryaga now?
Of course, I'll be rooting for the Ukrainian national team, but we shouldn't assume that we are stronger than everyone else. Before the Euros, everyone said that we were stronger than the Romanians, but in the end we got 0:3.
Is the Ukrainian national team more expensive in terms of its composition on Transfermarkt? It's just that we know how to sell our players at a high price. On the one hand, it's good, but on the other hand, when they do this, they disgrace the country and the club. Except for Tsygankov and Dovbyk, no one else plays seriously for their clubs. Although Dovbyk will not go far to the Euros with such a game," Leonenko said.
