Roman Kotlyar took over the role of the offensive champion of the national team of Ukraine at the group stage of Euro 2024.

The Ukrainian national team is preparing for another match at the group stage of Euro 2024, in which it will play with the Slovak national team. The enemies from the first match in the tournament were lost not even immediately. Serhiy Rebrov’s team played not too long ago against Rumunia and now has to play hard against Francesco Calzoni’s team if they want to reach the playoffs. Let's take a closer look at the style of play of our offensive rival and how we can prevent it.

Zbirna Slovakia plays positional football with the goal of quickly reaching the final third of the field. The " Milan Skriniar and also Stanislav Lobotka appear in the first place. It would seem that the European middle peasants would play in a more careful style, emphasizing verticality in attacks and adjusting them to minimize the risks of the ball-playing phase. However, in reality the picture is completely different.

Slovakian to beat the bet on a short pass. Central defenders can actively enter the space and rush forward on their own or make a long pass forward to the flank. The other option, with magnets flowing through the center, can often get stuck, and the main thing is that the sufferers are under pressure.

In times of high pressure on the side of the superniks, the team stagnates the rotation of the position, if one gravel from the center of the field hangs on the goalkeeper or defenders, and the other occupies his space. This allows you to close the transmission line, as well as lure the opponent to create free zones.

Vaughn is not trying to hit the ball, but the final third is about to end. If it is not possible to pass through the center, you can choose the option of transferring to the flanks, where you can create isolation for the laterals and wingers.

Slovakia is also good at attacking the depths. The dry block of the national Ukraine often comes up, so the “Falcons” may lose the ability to rush in there, but it is important that at such moments the safety net is in place, in some matches of our national team it's not going well. At the end zone, as a rule, a number of players run in, the near post is especially dangerous, where a forward, a midfielder or anyone else rushes under the attack.

Doctors who are coached by Francesco Calzona cannot be surprised. Having worked with Napoli for hours, Maurizio Sarri, then became an important part of the champion team, and you definitely know more than once about the playing style of the “Parthenopeans”.. It is important for the national teams to implement their power, and the coaching staff is in charge for many hours. If we're talking about middle-of-the-road Danish teams, the process could get even more complicated. After all, the coach has done it. Before the speech, Napoli won the head rank for defense, so he should go to it.

Without the ball, Slovakia plays quite aggressively - high pressing, stagnation, effective counter-pressing. Calzone looks bad in the team and is defensive. First of all, due to the compactness of the middle block in the 4-1-4-1 or 5-4-1 scheme, it is aimed at preventing large gaps in the lines and minimizing the possibility of taking away the free space by superniks. Golovne - trims the thickness and collapses in the staleness depending on where the ball is flying. The Slovakian tries to immediately engage in counter-pressing after the opponent has overcome the overcrowding, in order to maintain a small distance from the opponent and each other in order to benefit from this welcome. I shouldn't go out in it.

It will not always stagnate with high pressure, but it will be useful to be closer to the opponent’s goal, to analyze opponents personally, or to direct him in a direction where there is a greater likelihood of winning the ball.. For example, on the flanks. It was in this manner that a goal was scored in the match against Belgium. Squeezed onto the flange, tried to give a sufficiently risky transfer and after cutting, converted it from taking the thief. At the first half, these hawks “Falcons” bravely pressed Domenico Tedesco’s team and carried out a hard forty-five-fork. Problems began to arise for the other half, when Slovakia began to get bored, and also tried more and more to steal the achieved result..

She became more and more aware of the intense pressure, came closer to the gates of power. Whose tactical changes were made to his opponent, and what happened over the course of a short period of time and instructions to the coaching staff. Then Belgium began to create a lot of moments. The defenders were in a mood to work a little forward and go to the opponent, which created gaps in the lines, the scouts could give a shot on goal, working harder to get out of the pressure, after two pardons by the goalkeeper and other gravers Tedesco’s team was able to score two goals from good positions, and.

As soon as it is possible to put pressure on high positions of the dry line, in Ukraine there will definitely be unsafe episodes, so that it can attack in space. However, it is not a fact that there will be a lot of them.

In the “blue and yellow” there are problems with the hems of the low block, but everything in the match with Slovakia will lie in the scenario that will happen to the new. Taking into account the fact that Rumunia was quickly rewarded by our mercy and was able to realize their chances, it is not excluded that the team of Francesco Calzoni will play in a brave style, will intensively push our national team and favor their strengths, and the stink in it can be.

Persh for everything, long-range strikes. The Slovachina team scored more than one goal in this manner, and we conceded a dozen of these goals. In addition, standards. For these elements of our offensive opponent at the group stage there were not so many teams in the qualifications. And goals after these same kutovs are also a problem for the national team of Ukraine.

It is possible and necessary to win from this supernik, the team of Sergei Rebrov has enough capacity for this, but it will be important to solve medical problems. It is necessary to play well from the first champions and carefully prepare for a difficult match with a minimum of compromises in defense and good implementation of your scoring chances.
