Journalist and commentator Volodymyr Zverov shared his opinion on the class difference between the players of the Ukrainian and French national teams.
«Iceland defeated Azerbaijan. We only needed a win in the last match. Just like now. That’s why Tsygankov, Sudakov, and Kalyuzhny remained on the bench. Rebrov fielded the lineup I expected.
But when at the end of the match, Ekitike runs from the center of the field and four players can’t take the ball away from him, he plays a one-two with Mbappé, excuse me, but is this the level of a district or region? I understand the demoralization, the game with 0−2 was over, but this is the national team.
That fourth goal just killed me. Yes, Svatok hasn’t played for the national team in a hundred years, it’s Mykhavko’s first match. Taras stepped on Olise’s foot. And he stood on that foot forever. Thank goodness Olise didn’t jerk, or it would’ve been torn off. No experience playing against such players, Mykhavko at most plays in the Conference League,» Zverov is quoted by the Telegram channel FootballHub.
