We draw your attention to the announcement of a friendly match between the teams of France and Ukraine.
Oct. 07, 2020, 7 a.m.
Before the matches of the League of Nations, the Ukrainian team is planning a friendly match against the France team, to be played in Paris.
France – Ukraine
Wednesday, October 7, 10:10 p.m. Stade de France, Paris. Andris Treimanis is the main referee for the meeting. Television broadcast on Football 1 and Ukraine television channels.
The fight, which was close to not taking place, is likely to be played in the French capital (it is worth waiting for the test results on match day). Before the current training camp, the problems with Andriy Shevchenko’s team started quite quickly. The key player in midfield, Alexander Zinchenko, was unable to reach the national team’s location due to injury. A little later it became known that Dynamo Kiev players were injured: Vitaliy Buyalsky and Vladislav Supryaga. The coaching staff of the national team should not count on them in the next matches.
After the game of UPL Desna – Shakhtar, the most unpleasant thing happened. The coronavirus was diagnosed in two main players of the Ukrainian team: Taras Stepanenko and Andriy Pyatov. Besides the fact that Andriy Shevchenko will not be able to count on these artists, also all the other Ukrainian players of the Donetsk club were left out of Andriy Nikolaevich’s order, as Shakhtar isolated themselves (in this situation, it seems strange that the departure of other Shakhtar players to their national teams: Salomon and Khocholava). Pitmen players passed the first tests on Monday, which came back negative. Now they are waiting for a new test on Thursday. Maybe someone will join the national team and help the national team in the games against Germany and Spain, but definitely not in sparring with the French.
The problems of the coaching staff did not end there. Already at the location of the selection, the coronavirus was diagnosed in two of our goalkeepers: Andrei Lunin and Yuri Pankiv. In the afternoon training in the two-way, the goal of one of the teams was defended by Alexander Shovkovsky, as we only had one goalkeeper.
According to the protocol, a match can take place if the team has at least 13 players and at least one goalkeeper in the app. Therefore, the match is likely to be like this.
It is very difficult to predict the composition. It will surely be very experimental and will look unusual. One thing is for sure: Georgy Buschan will take a seat at the gate.
The French also did not go without losses. Ferlan Mendy replaced defender Leo Dubois. The Nantes player has also been diagnosed with the coronavirus. For the same reason, Adrien Rabiot will not play against the Ukrainians either.
The French are, of course, the favorites at this meeting. The French national team is one of the strongest national teams on the planet and is the current world champion. There are soccer players of the highest category. Deschamps’s team is currently in second place in the FIFA rankings. In any case, in any circumstance, France was, is and will be the favorite in the match against Ukraine. The statistics of the face-to-face meetings do not speak in our favor either:
8 sets: 4 wins for France, 3 draws, 1 win for Ukraine
Ball difference: 13: 5 in favor of France
However, this match is a good opportunity for young players and those who do not have much playing time from Andriy Shevchenko to prove their worth. Why shouldn’t parole Shaparenko show in this fight that Andrey Nikolaevich can count on him in the future as a point guard?
