Head coach of the national team of Ukraine Andriy Shevchenko stood up for Shakhtar midfielder Viktor Kovalenko.
After the game with the Icelandic team (0: 2), the fans criticized Kovalenko and even wrote him threats.
"Did he break the structure of the game?" No, he did not break it. I do not understand where all this flurry of criticism from the young guy went.
Kovalenko played at a good level, was one of the few who created the movement all the time. We were satisfied with his activity. For the game that led the Icelanders, he acted correctly, "said Shevchenko, who is quoted by" Team No. 1 ".
Earlier, Kovalenko stood up to Alexander Zinchenko, Paulo Fonseca and Tyson.
Meanwhile, the president of "Dynamo" Igor Surkis expressed Shevchenko claims that his players flew to Iceland, but sat on a bench.
