Former Ukraine national team player Ivan Hetsko commented on the results of the draw for the Nations League playoff, which allocated the Belgium national team as opponents for the Ukrainian national team in the matches for the right to enter Division "A".
Ivan Hetsko“In my opinion, this is a normal draw for the Ukrainian national team. Because if you want to improve, you should prove your strength in confrontations with such a reputable opponent.
Yes, the Belgians are higher in the rankings, but I don’t consider them favorites. First of all, this team has recently been going through a decline; secondly, the confrontation with an opponent of such a level will serve as an additional incentive for Ukrainians to play beyond their capability; thirdly, perhaps the players of Domenico Tedesco will have the ball more often, but then our guys will have the opportunity to use their formidable "weapon" — counterattacks.
I am convinced that everything will primarily depend on the Ukrainian team. If they demonstrate tenacity, maximum determination, and speed, then their chances of tipping the scales in their favor will significantly increase,” said Hetsko.
