FFU President Andrei Pavelko expressed his opinion regarding the defeat of the Ukrainian team in the match against Malta.

"Blue-yellow" lost in this friendly game with a score of 0: 1.

"Any fan wants" statistical victories ": for statistics to be positive and we always win, in any match. On the other hand, there is the truth of life, and indeed there is the opportunity to attract more players to different tactical schemes, to look at their functional state.

So this game concerned no longer a tournament or sports principle, namely, checking the reserve of our national team. But as a cheerleader, verification is not a test, I would like to see victories, and that we are happy with the result, despite the fact that this is a friendly game or an official one, "said Pavelko.

Recall, on June 11, our team is waiting for another challenge. On the road, the team of Andrey Shevchenko will compete with Finland in the selection for the 2018 World Cup.
