Renowned manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovaylo commented on the defeat of the Ukrainian national team against the Belgian national team (0:3) in the second leg of the Nations League playoff for the right to compete in Division “A.” Let us remind you, based on the results of two matches (3:1, 0:3), the Ukrainian national team lost in this confrontation.
Vyacheslav Zakhovaylo“They squeezed us out, squeezed us out. And starting from the 68th minute, they pushed us back and sent us home.
The structure of the game with three central defenders was clear before the game, for everyone who knows the tactical and strategic style of Sergey Rebrov.
Now we can overanalyze as much as we want. Saying that the substitutions were not timely, that he guessed wrong, that the tactics were off :))))).
Those who will talk about this are just blabbermouths.
Belgium did not allow us to play beautiful football. We couldn’t get out from under their pressing. We failed to apply pressing ourselves. Our ball recovery started in our own penalty area. And it was only a matter of time before the Belgians tore us apart.
You can’t deceive football.
I wish everyone well. Glory to Ukraine!,” — Zakhovaylo wrote on his Facebook page.
