Nikolai Matvienko, who plays in the role of a defender in the National team of Ukraine, commented on the result of the fight of the Ukrainian team with the national team of Azerbaijan, which ended with a productive draw - 1: 1.

As part of the qualifications of the 2026 World Cup, the situation was affected by the situation related to the change of coach on the eve of the match between the national teams. So the Ukrainian football player thinks.

Ukrainians saw additional motivation after such an event, but could not oppose themselves in this confrontation.

" I think that the coach has played the factor and additional motivation.

It was expected that it would be hard because they lost 0: 5 the first game and they would do everything at home to take glasses. They did it.

Of course, combination football made sense. We try to play this way even on a bad field. There is no point in talking about the field.

Nothing has changed, we need to go to every game and try to win it. Do not look at tournament tables or parallel matches. Just go out, fulfill his task, ”Matvienko gave a comment for SPART SPORT.
