Ukrainian coach and expert Oleh Fedorchuk commented on the draw in the Nations League match between Ukraine and the Czech Republic.
Oleg Fedorchuk"Judging by the statistics, the Czechs were closer to winning. They had an advantage in the fight on the second floor, and we looked more technical down below. We didn't have enough crosses. In general, we are playing these two games without wing backs. There was very little activity from Matvienko and Konoplya up front. The Czechs played simpler, but also more rationally. A draw is a natural result.
The attacking unit played very poorly. Dovbyk looks cut off from the team. I think he will have Lewandowski syndrome. After all, Robert showed excellent performance at Borussia Dortmund at his peak, then in Bavaria, but he failed in the national team. He played better in the national team after the age of 28.
What surprised me? For example, that we didn't even try to take a chance. It seems that Rebrov was satisfied with a draw. Although what does this one point matter to us? Perhaps the goal for the Nations League is not to get promoted, but to stay in Division B? If you want to win, why take off Dovbyk and play Yaremchuk instead?
During Rebrov's tenure, we already played with two strikers, and it paid off. And at the same time, we have a pure fullback in Kalyuzhnyi and Kryskiv, who plays defense. We are talking about ball control, Spanish coaches, and then we play second against Georgia and lose in possession to the Czech Republic..." Fedorchuk said.
