Good night! Sport Arena welcomes you to the online match of the fourth round of the Nations League. Ukraine’s national team in Kiva host Spain! The broadcast is hosted by Alexander Tsvirk.
In the Ukraine-Spain match, the favorite is obvious, and it’s not just a matter of history. This meeting awaited our team at the most difficult moment for him. According to Shevchenko, the loss of one or two base players is essential for his team; What can we say about the fifteen? Someone is injured (and there are many), someone is in quarantine and isolation, and someone ate an extra yellow three days before. Yes, we are talking about Malinovsky, the best player on this squad, the only one capable of high-quality creativity in midfield. Well, the only thing left is to arm yourself with the paradoxical logic “The worse the better” … Although, of course, a month ago, the Yellow-Blues crashed into the Spanish in a much more combative composition.

Ukraine’s bloodless national team started in October. First, it suffered a record defeat in its history, then, albeit with dignity, it lost to Germany. Spain, in turn, rolled a freight train with Portugal without goals, after which they defeated Switzerland with a minimal score (but without problems in the game). Fury Roha now leads Group 4 with 7 points. Thanks to the victory in the first round, Shevchenko’s team is in third place, the Neutrals have only one point.
History
No surprises: six official games, five losses and a single draw for the Yellow-Blues. And in the first fight, do you remember that crazy Gorshkov punch in 2003? Three of the five Spanish victories were minimal, but two, including the most recent, brought a dismal 4-0 result.
Personal
We will not repeat ourselves, you all know the list of losses of the Ukrainian team. Let’s make a list of those who “survived” to this day based on last year’s basis: Karavaev, Mikolenko, Yaremchuk… And also the trinity Yarmolenko–Marlos–Tsygankov: In the clubs, everyone is a right winger, but today there is likely to be a place for everyone at the same time. If something, Malinovsky He’s already gone to the Atalanta location – why is he, disqualified, to stay in the national team camp? Valery did not appear again in the published app for today’s game. copper… And was it worth urgently calling the young defender to pass him twice beyond the matches with the best rivals?

Compared to the home team, the former world and European champions in their current form are equally inexperienced. But for a much more positive reason: it is that Enrique, by tradition, experiments recklessly, and the change of generations, thanks to a mad human resource, is painless. Experienced in this composition can only be considered From Gea, Bouquets, Navasa, Busketsa yes Rodrigo Moreno… But the remaining 19 people in the application have played 90 matches in total for Selection.

Of those who were called in October, they will not play today Diego Llorente Y Gerard Moreno – the boys were injured in training.

Judges
Pole will work in the meeting between Ukraine and Spain Pavel Gil… And his assistants are compatriots. The 44-year-old referee, judging by the statistics, lets play and rarely tries the role of punisher.
