The Ukrainian forward of Polish “Rakow” Vladislav Kochergin spoke on the topic that despite his effective play for the club, he is systematically not called up to the Ukraine national team.
Vladislav Kochergin“Once I was called up to the Ukraine national team. Sergey Stanislavovich (Rebrov, — ed.) called me up for a training camp, there were three games then, but I did not make the squad for any of these matches.
I try not to worry about things I cannot influence, and not to think too much about it. I do my job, I try to do it well. And regarding everything that does not depend on me, I try not to think and not to worry about it.
So, if the national team coach made a choice in favor of other players, that is his choice. I am not offended at all and cannot say that I am dissatisfied: these are working processes over which you have no influence. Of course, I want to get a call-up because I believe I deserve it. What will happen next — that is no longer up to me,” said Kochergin on the air of the YouTube channel of the well-known Ukrainian commentator Igor Tsiganik.
In addition, in the current season, Kochergin has played 25 matches for “Rakow,” in which he scored 5 goals and contributed 3 assists. Last season, the Ukrainian had 8 goals and 3 assists in 49 matches.
