The mentor of the Georgian national team shared his thoughts before the game with Ukraine.
The head coach of the Georgian national team, Ville Sagnol, commented on the upcoming National League match against Ukraine.
" You can lose one match, but that doesn’t mean you’ll lose the next one. Ukraine is a very strong team with individually strong players. We are getting ready for an important match. We will be ready and focused on power. We're trying to overcome everything, so we can overcome it.
At the training session, I emphasized the atmosphere and self-giving. I'm learning how the gravels train and show themselves off to the field. Ale football is not a perfect science. You can lose today and win tomorrow. What's important is not what you lose or win, but what you show on the football field. There is a lot we cannot control, we cannot control our opponent, the weather or the referee. We can also control what we produce in the field. For us it is most important. We all understand what is important to us and that we can work on the football field to win.
We don’t think about the tournament table right now. In front of us there are even more folding grays. We understand who our rivals are. I said that Georgia is not a favorite, because I was aware of the number of teams. Albania, the Czech Republic and Ukraine played at Euro 2024 and showed a worthy performance.
Ale, of course, after a good start, we want to continue in the same way and get points. But we all understand that this is football - each team can win as well as lose. We will grab points after all matches,” Sagnol said at a press conference before the match.
Guess what, the match between Ukraine and Georgia will start tomorrow, the 11th, in Poznan at the Enea Arena stadium at 21:45 Kyiv time. On Football. ua online text broadcast of the match will be available.
