The coach thought of a hundred percent of the upcoming match.

Ruslan Rotan spoke about the match between the national team of Ukraine U-23 and the national team of Japan.

" Japan is one of the first countries that has become one of us and provides Ukraine with a lot of help to fight the aggressor,” the UAF website quotes the coach.

“We are now starting preparations for the Olympic Games. And it is important for us to prepare for them in a clearer way. That's why the harvest of Japan is even more beautiful. Our supernik is a very clear team. We watched the same matches.

Our nation, and football is closed, are maximalists. The success of our Olympic team is an important step forward for us. We first spent time at the Olympic Games, and we still have no evidence of performances there. For our country, this is even more important, but it is even more important to prepare for it and show yourself good. We have a very strong collection. The only problem today, as I understand it, is that not all Ukrainian clubs are ready to let in players. This is not to blame, given the prestige of our country - especially at such an hour. We’ll get busy and paint our land, and there’s still room for development.

The match with Japan is melodiously, the third priority, taking into account other matches of the national teams of Ukraine, as well as our friend Zustrich. By the way, for us he is even more important. We have boys who are not involved in official matches and have already joined the Olympic team. Therefore, the opportunity to go to the Olympic Games is a great chance for them, and on whom they are concentrating.

Andriy Shevchenko is well placed before the Olympic team and understands that the Games are an even more important matter.

We want to thank you for the organization of the team’s preparation in Ugorshchina, where we have little opportunity to train in great minds. It’s even more important for us, even though this team has just assembled, and for us these days have been like a wind of fresh wind. We have a dialogue with Andriy Shevchenko and help in all the moments we need."

In a friendly match, the national team of Ukraine U-23 will play against Japan on February 25, the meeting will start at 12:15 according to the Ukrainian hour.
