Danylo Sikan, forward of the Ukrainian Olympic team, commented on the defeat of Argentina.
"Our second half always doesn't look good. I think the game with Argentina was pretty even. Of course, they were the favorites and it was very difficult to play against them. We were unlucky somewhere. The Argentines were very different from our previous opponents. This team plays more tactical and balanced football, and they are also more compact. But it was possible to play against them. We didn't show enough," Sikan was quoted as saying by the Vzbirna telegram channel.
Зачем заранее "уважаете" соперника?
Вы не хуже. Поле ровное, мяч круглый. 90 минут. 50/50. Что ещё надо? Ведь если внутренне согласились, что соперники сильней, то так окажется и на поле!
