Well-known Ukrainian coach Roman Hryhorchuk assessed the personnel potential of the national team of Ukraine and made a prediction for the qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup against France.
Roman Hryhorchuk— The national team of Ukraine has suffered many losses ahead of the match against the national team of France in the qualification for the 2026 World Cup...
— I wouldn’t even attach much importance to this — it’s a normal situation. Injuries happen. I believe that the Ukrainian national team has a pretty good squad to achieve high results on the international stage.
We can note that someone is missing, but we have enough players to form a decent team. I am confident that the coaching staff will be able to put a capable lineup on the field that can beat the strongest teams.
— What is your prediction for the match against France?
— I believe that we shouldn’t think that France is an incredible force. We understand that we are playing against a top team, but that doesn’t mean we can say that we won’t be able to win. Under certain circumstances, we can achieve a positive result even against teams of the level of the national team of France.
