Team Ukraine striker Roman Yaremchuk commented on the defeat of Ugorshchyna with a 1:2 draw in the fourth round of the League of Nations. The forward appreciates that the Ukrainian team played the first half of the match well, controlled the game's run and had little time to take the goal..
" I respect myself, honestly, that we played a very good first half, effectively controlled the match, created chances. I felt at this moment that we need to put a mark, score the ball, so that the opponent speeds up his attack and forgets. By the way, that’s how it happened. Then we corrected the situation, believed in those that we could overcome - and we were again caught on the counterattack, we were let through,” Yaremchuk said.
The 30-year senior football player on the field after interrupting and finishing the task, changing the end of the match and helping the team achieve a positive result. Same Yaremchuk scored the only goal of Ukraine against Zustricha.
“It’s a pity that we missed another stupid goal, which completely knocked us out of the count, we wasted our time, and the match ended,” said the Olympiakos striker.
Yaremchuk also expressed respect for the problems of the Ukrainian team in the attack. In his words, footballers do not face aggression in the final third of the field, and the skin of the grave can gain more from itself. In this case, the forward calls are not visible in the game model, which Maldera introduces.
" I will continue to believe in him. I know that this football will be played. Turn around injured football players - Zinchenko, Dovbik, Misha Mudryk, all football players - and we will show even better football.
Just need some patience. We are constantly reawakening. I understand that patients have no need to hear what I say, but they need patience. I believe that we have great potential as a team,” Yaremchuk summed up.
After the defeat, Ukraine lost third place from the group with several points. The Ugorshchina scored seven points and outperformed the Malderi team. For the Ukrainians, it was a friend after failure in the tournament.
