Mentor “blue-yellow” was pleased with the game team, as well as the way the players fought until the final whistle, without losing hope of snatching.

" It’s not possible at all times - it’s impossible to show high-quality football throughout the match, but we strived for this. The guys showed themselves, and I'm satisfied.

I am glad that the guys did not stop, they did what they planned to the end.. We scored the goal we needed, albeit in the last seconds. At the beginning of the match, they lost the game’s threads, made a mistake, conceded a goal, but found strength and showed fighting qualities in order to achieve a result, ”Shevchenko said.

The coach of the main team of the country also praised the players who appeared to replace. It was Artem Besedin, who entered the field from the bench, tore off a draw in compensated time.

“Substitutions definitely strengthened the game - they pulled out a draw in the end of the meeting. It was nice that the guys who played less - Sidorchuk, Kovalenko, Tsygankov had a good match. I had to change the system, counted on more innings from the flank, released Besedin, left Yaremchuk. Shepelev and Shakhov entered perfectly.

It's nice that we have not only the foundation, but also the guys who are fighting for their place and help outs to replace both defense and attack, "

A draw with the Serbs allowed the Ukrainian team to complete the year for the first time in history without a single defeat.

Now the " During the procedure, our team will be sown in the first basket.
