“Get him out, losers, you guys prepared the national team.”

Editor-in-chief of Football magazine Artem Frankov commented on the decision of the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Committee to credit the Ukrainian team for a technical loss in the Nations League match against Switzerland.

“I warned about the possibility of such an outcome, but whoever listened to me listened the more. Defeating your own people is never a reason for joy (although especially gifted fans may have a different opinion), but rather a reason to find out why. So, the most shitty cherry, or whatever it’s called.

According to my information, there was a proposal from UEFA to postpone the match for a couple of days for Ukraine to bring another team to Switzerland, covid-free, on Thursday. Offered. In reality, the FFU / UAF did not hide, it simply did not emphasize this, making a strange statement that the players of the youth team were not available; they say, they just played and their passports are not biometric (what if they check it ?!).

Everything seems to be clear here, we were not interested in accepting such an option, although in practice it was quite feasible, I insist. No, the youth team had nothing to do with it, although it was possible to take someone out. Personally, I would conduct lightning negotiations with clubs (Desna, Zarya, Alexandria, Kolos) and find out who is ready to start abroad as the Ukraine national team (Zarya is already played in 1972! I am convinced that the clubs would have seized that opportunity with both hands, of course, if the match “back” in the championship was postponed, but it seems that the FFU / UAF could decide (if someone refused to transfer, That is, it was possible to choose a separate club, which, by the way, is quite a strong decision in sporting terms: Desna with Buyalsky, and they would have beaten these neutrals against the background of healthy rage, but it was possible to collect a hodgepodge, of course.

The stupid fairy tales (oh I know who are so creative, last name K) about outdated passports, I think, stemmed from an unequivocal decision made at the top of the FFU / UAF. We will not play with another team, postpone it until spring or give the Swiss a coach! In any case, the Federation was in charge of collecting the information, which of our professionals really have old-fashioned passports … Unfortunately, UEFA did not take a walk to the FTC.

Did that decision have a right to exist? It did, if federal leaders were confident in the strength of our position and the ability to support it legally. They were giving solemn interviews: Protasov, Markevich … Pavelko, as always, was silent. Did you know something Or naively believed? Maybe.

They would have won (the transfer), we would have burst into delighted applause, so discuss the obvious. No, get him out, losers, you guys set up the Ukraine national team.

Also, critters, they were so proud that we have a fig and more representatives in UEFA. And where is everyone, what role did they play? Frankov wrote on the Telegram channel.
