Former midfielder of Odesa’s «Chornomorets», «Vorskla» and «Kryvbas», and now coach Victor Bohatyr commented on the national team of Ukraine’s advancement to the playoffs of the WC-2026 qualifiers.
Victor Bohatyr— I liked the game. First of all, because I saw the calmness in our boys' work, driven by confidence that the course of the match would follow our script. Although it was noticeable that the Icelanders also prepared well, taking into account the result of the first match — 3:5. I hope that the emotions our team gained today in Warsaw will serve as a good incentive for them in the fight for the right to earn a ticket to the final part of the World Cup.
Trubin? A goalkeeper must save, and that’s what he did. We’ve long noticed that Anatoliy has grown into a goalkeeper of European level, because in a club like «Benfica», you don’t just play in the main squad. Trubin has repeatedly demonstrated confident play both at the club and in the national team. And today’s match is no exception, — the expert is confident.
