The Ukraine team suffered their first defeat in 13 games. Andriy Shevchenko’s team lost to Spain 0: 4.
“What can I say, in fact, everything was already visible. We still have room to grow, we have to look at our mistakes. Yes, maybe our physical condition affected to some extent. But first of all, I would like to say that Spain continues to play. We have to fight for this football, because we also want to dominate, we also want to play number one. We have a lot of work to do, but it is good that this has happened now, and not at the European Championship. We will analyze and improve our condition, their game. ” Zinchenko said after the game.
“Is it possible to compare the different pressure exerted by the Swiss and Spanish teams? I will say that, first of all, they have different tactics. Switzerland uses a different system, with 3 central defenders, their outside backs played very high. Here the situation was completely different Yes, the Spanish retreated a bit to midfield and waited for the moment to close us. They waited for some bad pass, some bad reception. And then they created a numerical advantage somewhere in the field, took the ball and resumed the game. Again, they moved this ball from left to right and waited for us to have some space in defense. Then they very competently used these holes, they went through the transfer from defense to attack, “Alexander replied to the question from the Football.ua journalist. Alexei Matskevich.
The national team will play the next game on October 10 against Germany, and three days later they will play with the Spanish.
