The head coach of the Ukrainian team, Andriy Shevchenko, said that the situation around the coronavirus has critical consequences for Ukrainian teams.
For national teams like Ukraine, who do not have such a rich selection of players, the situation with COVID-19 is now disastrous. We take much more damage than other teams. We don’t have such a high-quality selection of players and if someone crashes it’s a big problem. Now there will be problems in the cup tournaments. I imagine what kind of match awaits Shakhtar in Madrid.
– What to do in a situation where COVID-19 is essentially dividing team personnel? After all, Shakhtar’s schedule will be very tight. How should we deal with this?
– I think you have to treat him as we do in the national team. The matches will definitely not be canceled. The Shakhtar coach will have to decide and choose the best of those who will be ready to play. Football cannot be stopped, but it is not necessary to wait for any results in such conditions. Playing with teams with two or three squads, it is difficult to compete. But we must do this.
