Former Ukraine national team player Vyacheslav Shevchuk in the air of TC Football dismounted as part of the selection for the 2022 World Cup.
“What happened to the Ukrainian team yesterday is football. Sometimes luck comes, sometimes not. Yesterday, unfortunately, we were unlucky and could not realize our opportunities. Nothing terrible happened, but we have such a result that in the game with an outsider, we got a point. Besides the result, there is also football. Ukraine showed good football, created many chances, but did not realize them. If Shevchenko’s team could not create anything with Kazakhstan, then we could say that this is a kind of shame.
The realization of the moments is the only reason that Ukraine could not win. If in each game Ukraine created a large number of chances and did not know them, we could say that it is a matter of skill. Maybe somewhere out of luck or lack of skill. Yaremchuk and Moraes themselves realize those moments in the championship of Belgium and Ukraine. They can do it all, just yesterday they were unlucky. Everyone must draw conclusions.
And what did Shevchenko do wrong yesterday? There were 29 shots on goal. If he could show up and step onto the field, he would have realized it in a moment. The chances were created, the team played well. Let’s remember the same Ukraine – Spain match. The Spanish created many chances, the Ukrainians defended themselves, they played well in defense. And what can I say that the Spanish lack skill? Language will not turn to say that. They were unlucky, ours were lucky then. Therefore, we are now in the place of Spain. Such a parallel can be drawn. So I think it’s a matter of luck, not skill.
If we talk about the main players who will prepare for Euro 2020, they were absent. There was no Yarmolenko, Konoplyanka, Stepanenko – these are the players of the first team. Tsygankov was also absent. This time the team rebuilt and played in an unusual way for them. Much has changed. I think Andrei Nikolayevich knows where to move and which players to call in the future. We could speak of presumption and understatement of the opponent if Kazakhstan came out and took us to the field. But we didn’t see that. In this game, we didn’t win a point, but we lost two.
– the game was difficult, Ukraine tried to keep the opponent’s defense in suspense. After the first goal scored, everyone thought that victory was in our pocket. And then we conceded a goal. Our team could be criticized in that match in the last five minutes of the match. I think Malinovsky and Zinchenko are the central players of the Ukrainian team. Yaremchuk had an injury, he was recovering his condition. Now it looks great.
The correct tactics were chosen for each opponent. With France we played more defensively, with Finland we tried to play wider and with Kazakhstan we had more attacking tactics. I think this is good and it is a great advantage for the coaching staff, who can build a different game. The team played well in all three games. It is worse if the team plays well with only one tactic and cannot reorganize depending on the opponent. This is normal in modern football.
Now missing are Yarmolenko and Konoplyanka, in which the Ukrainian team has been building its game for five years. It was much more difficult to change tack with them as they are pronounced wingers, they made a difference and made a difference. With them, the Ukrainian team was forced to play three forwards. Now it is possible to vary the tactics. If the French team were not in first place, it would be easier for Ukraine to fight for the first place in the group. But anything can happen, this is football. We must win every game. Ukraine knows how to play different football, it knows how to adapt to different opponents, but we have to work on implementation, “Shevchuk said.
