The honored coach of Ukraine, Myron Markevych, shared his impressions of the Nations League match between the national teams of Georgia and Ukraine (1:1), which took place last Saturday in Batumi.
"Once again, the hopes of domestic football fans were dashed. I was also leaning towards the idea that Serhiy Rebrov’s team would win in Batumi. Even the weather conditions were our ally, as the heavy pitch almost leveled the technical advantage of the Georgians. However, once again, there were problems with creating and, most importantly, converting scoring chances. Thankfully, the own goal by the hosts helped.
It is concerning that alongside our legionnaires, players representing the UPL have also started to play worse.
Nevertheless, I still believe that the Ukrainian national team can play better, and the current misfortunes are apparently related to psychology. But the reality is that if we cannot overcome the Albanians away on November 19, we will face Division 'C' and matches with footballing dwarf countries are inevitable. Think about it," Markevych said.
