Ukrainian coach Oleg Fedorchuk — on the draw in the League of Nations playoffs and the opponent of the Ukrainian national team — the Belgian national team.
— Ukraine was lucky with the draw. Serbia and Scotland are currently on the rise and showing strong performances. Hungary also looks quite good. In contrast, Belgium, although having a loud reputation, is in crisis. The team performed poorly at Euro 2024, losing to the Slovaks at the start. Ultimately, the Ukrainians played well against the Belgian team at the European Championship. In my opinion, Belgium has strong experienced players, but they are unmotivated. This team can be beaten.
Overall, the Ukrainian national team performed adequately in the League of Nations. The team looked very uncertain at Euro, failing the tournament. And it's unclear why, as the coaching staff did not draw any conclusions. It was only after the first two losses that Rebrov went for changes. Coaches and players made many loud statements about the strength of the main team, to the point that, for example, Georgia had much more ball possession. In general, Serhiy Rebrov as the national team coach disappointed. Yes, his results this year were not catastrophic, but the expectations were higher, — the expert is convinced.
