Oleh Dulub: "Ukraine is playing tic-tac-toe, but this impotent control leads to nothing but problems at its own gates"

Former head coach of Cherkasy LNZ Oleh Dulub shared his thoughts on the structure of the Ukrainian national team under Serhiy Rebrov.

- The defense wins championships, and the offense wins individual matches. Over a long distance, you need to have a well-built defense. Ukraine is now playing tiki-taka and thus blurring its national identity. If you dress Ukrainian clubs in the national team shirt, you won't really be able to tell who is playing.

This has never happened before! At all times, Ukrainian football has been famous for its flank attacks, speed, and pressure, not for rolling the ball across the field. This impotent control leads to nothing but problems at their own goal. I also saw a very big miscalculation in analytics," the expert said.
