The coach of the Blues and Yellows shared his thoughts after the game with Georgia.
Head coach of the national team of Ukraine Andrea Maldera commented on the draw result in the match of the other round of the National League against Georgia (0:0).
“Before that, as we talk about football, we would like to acknowledge our words to the people in Kiev, who today succumbed to the fearful and cruel bombardment. First of all, I want to confirm. Closeness to our people is very important.
I don’t divide the team into main and reserve. We are one united team. I respect that I am obliged to look at other graves and give them the opportunity to play. They gave me very important evidence for my nutrition. And I am already satisfied with the graves that we played today.
I changed Ponomarenok through those in the attack I made a few more choices. Ponomarenko and Vanat were very tired after the first half. And so I chose to replace them with two attacking graves, who could help in pressing. .
Gra Anatolia Trubina? . I have no doubts about the future of Trubina - he is an extraordinary gravetsman. He has already made a lot of saves today, but he is not the only one who played a good match.
I am also very pleased with Taras Mikhavk, and I have more respect for him. Also Sarapiy. Matches of decals are not even beautiful from an aesthetic point of view. Superniks brought to us with great pride. The stench was not present, it did not come from the high pressure. We had a chance to steal from us. We can do better, but I want to speak out about the many positive moments that happened today.
There was no game in the attack line? Yes, of course, you are right. We have many important moments. The stench was already strong in the five huts and sounded like mud for us. And we needed to look very cleanly from a technical point of view.
There were moments when we were approaching the penalty area. And, unfortunately, we didn’t get the rest of the food. In the first half we were often played vertically, but I repeat: the match is different. From a tactical point of view, you will finish the match. Also from the emotional point of view. The most important thing is that the team reacted and the players fought on the field.
I'm not talking about the Gravians about their aggressiveness after the match with Ugorshchina. Unfortunately, we took away two folding yellow cards. Tse Bondar and Ocheretko, who will not be able to help the team in the upcoming match. The boys struggled and when it was necessary to go to the stick, there was a stink. I'll look at this without saying anything to the Gravians, but the match will be even more complicated.
Georgian national team with a new head coach? I concentrated my team as much as I could, fighting for the ball. I, in principle, perceived such a reaction from them, such a balanced match. So, in principle, it happened. I can’t judge the opponent, but the team is very good, the team is very strong and in good physical shape,” Maldera said at the post-match press conference.
