Famous manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovailo shared his impressions from the match of the final, 6th round of the Nations League 2024/25 Albania — Ukraine (1:2), which took place yesterday in Tirana.
Vyacheslav Zakhovailo“The victory today was more important. The game will be forgotten, but the score will remain in history. As the great VVL said.
The first half saved us from disgrace. For many, the appearance of Zinchenko in the starting lineup was unexpected, especially in a midfield position on the right center. In my opinion, this is a logical step by Rebrov. Creativity was needed in creation. In the pair of Sudakov-Shaparenko, something is not working, this needs to be analyzed carefully. It was Zinchenko who demonstrated the difference.
Our wingers — Mudryk and Hutsulyak fell out of the game. The only comparison that comes to mind is: “they floundered like shit in an ice hole.” And they deservedly received the lowest rating from Western experts (6.6 and 6.9 respectively). Yaremchuk deserved praise, he came on, worked hard, scored...
The second half I want to forget like a nightmare. I don’t think that during the halftime break Albania learned to play football better. I want to ask: what is happening with you, guys???
Serious conclusions need to be made from this tournament.
In the photo, the players showed the whole world a terrible date... 1000 days of war against the aggressor are endured by the Ukrainian people.
Congratulations on the victory! Glory to Ukraine!”, — Zakhovailo wrote on his social media page on Facebook.
