UAF Vice President Oleg Protasov said that the Ukrainian team’s leadership was looking for different opportunities to hold a match against Switzerland, but was unable to agree with the opponent.
“The national team was ready for the match, which we discussed in negotiations with both the Swiss team and UEFA. The team was ready to pass the Covid-19 tests again to confirm the presence of at least 13 healthy players, but they turned us down, canceling all of our efforts. Although the test results obtained immediately after returning to Ukraine in a UEFA accredited laboratory proved our reason.
By the way, the players of the national team Serhiy Kryvtsov and Junior Moraes, who had a suspicion of a second Covid-19 disease, also received negative results and are already training with their team and preparing for the Ukrainian championship. The refusal of the Swiss doctor seems strange also because shortly before the same doctor allowed the local team of FC Lucerna to participate in the match against FC Zurich, although on the eve of the fight in both teams some players had tested positive for Covid-19. “.
“We were ready to form a new team and bring it to Switzerland, but this takes time, at least 48 hours: gathering players, testing, issuing visas for those players who do not have biometric passports and organizing a letter. Any coach who has worked with the national team will confirm that it is unrealistic to organize this in one day, as they offered us in Switzerland, for an away game, “Protasov said.
The FTC UEFA can begin considering the case from Monday.
