Kermanich of the Ukrainian national team announced about the upcoming match in the selection for EURO 2024 against Italy.
As part of the sixth round of qualifying for the final part of EURO 2024, the Ukrainian team will compete on a visit with the national team of Italy, which is the main competitor of the Ukrainians for another meeting in Group C.
Head coach of the Blue-and-White, Sergei Rebrov, shared his impressions of this struggle during the pre-match press conference.
About the personnel situation in the national assembly of Ukraine:.
“It’s a little bad, but as much as I’m learning, everyone can train today. I'll be amazed at how everything will go after training. Now we have the same situation: we have 22 Polish graves and three gates. You will need to select. Before training, there are no serious injuries, only microtraumas, which are no longer respected by football players."
About those who can play Andriy Yarmolenko against Italy:.
" You were against England and will be replaced. Unfortunately, I have no practice since I was in love after the injury. The infection, for the remaining three or four days, will be working in a hidden group, so I respect that your appearance tomorrow is entirely possible."
Thought about the choice of Italy:.
" I was amazed at this match - it was an important game, because the field was in such a filthy state. But I’m looking for intensity, I’m looking for what the Italians were trying to overcome. So, what is less surprising is the intensity shown by the Italian team from this game. I hope that tomorrow the intensity will not be less, and we must be prepared until then.”.
" Italians realize that the game is even more important for them. This is an important match for us. I always tell my players before the game: we can respect our opponent, but we must focus on our own game. If we don’t see anything in us, it will be even more important.”.
“Ukraine has never outperformed Italy? Marvel, the Italian team is a top team, so we didn’t beat them. You said that we got one point from England, but it was very easy. The same game will come upon us tomorrow. I repeat, you only need to pay attention to yourself and here, on San Siro."
“I don’t understand why you seem to think that Italy is going through a crisis now.”. This is a very strong supernik, to whom we can be taken very seriously. We are currently at war in the country, so it is fitting for us to represent Ukraine here, as they fought against England. We have a plan for tomorrow’s game, we respect the Italians, and we must show the Ukrainian character, the character of those Ukrainians who are now fighting for our independence.
About Andriy Shevchenko:.
“Andriy not only encourages us, he also supports the whole of Ukraine. Those who can work at once are even more important for Ukraine. He is an ambassador for United24 and does a great job. It's a great honor for me to show you around here. Those who have engraved in Italy are the effective butt of the great Ukrainian. We now live everything for the sake of the ZSU. Everything that we care about is worth it to them. I'm waiting for the gravts if they come out on the street. They understand who and why we are playing. Against England, the stench has already garishly represented the country."
About Luciano Spalletti:.
" Having done a very good job in Napoli and won the Scudetto. I really respect this coach. Any fakhivtsu will need an hour, otherwise I will go through the first step of learning the changes that I have made. The intensity has increased, the graves realize that the stench is pouring onto the field. This is already a team. If the game is smooth, let us be ready for anything."
The match between the national teams of Ukraine and Italy will take place on the 12th of Wednesday and will end at 21:45 Kyiv time. Follow this game on our online text broadcast.
