Famous Ukrainian coach Vitaliy Kvartsyaniy shared his opinion on the upcoming matches of the Ukrainian national team in the UEFA Nations League against Albania and the Czech Republic.
"I expect our national team to perform well in these matches. But it will be harder than ever. It will be harder with Albania than with England! The Albanians are very aggressive, meet tightly and are good in power martial arts. They will prevent us from creating constructive play, realizing that they are inferior in class.
At the Euros, the Albanians played well against Spain, but they lacked skill and speed. If England makes arrhythmia by playing boring football, the Albanians play very aggressively.
As for the Czech Republic, their strikers and defenders are taller than us, so we have to be very careful with set pieces. It will be difficult for our team here. I think that after the Euros, the Czechs will improve, because they had a lot of young players who have already adapted to the European Championship.
My prediction is that there will be a productive draw with the Albanians, and we will beat the Czechs if all our players are in top form," Kvartsianyi said.
