Head coach of the national team of Ukraine Andriy Shevchenko commented on the defeat in the match against Iceland (2: 0).

"It's very hard to play here. It's very hard to play. This is a power team, with high and powerful guys. You saw how today they scored balls - counterattacks, a large group of players climb into the penalty area. As soon as there is a corner, a penalty or an out - they almost always have a dangerous moment, "- said Shevchenko at the post-match press conference.

"I can not say anything bad against my team, all the guys worked, worked out, but some episodes decided the outcome of the match".

"We needed a creative, we understood that the team will go back, will be defended by a large number of players, so we wanted to release more technical players who could somewhere find the space between these lines".

"In principle, there was a good time in Butko, when he shot through, there was another moment when they could break through. That is, the moments were created, but there was no realization, "Shevchenko is sure.
