Former national team player Andrei Polunin commented in the Nations League match against Germany.
“I was sure our guys would fight the Germans. I felt that after a crushing loss to France in a friendly match, the helmsman Andriy Shevchenko spoke seriously with his charges that the bet would be on experienced players, the right tactics would be chosen. Of course, it should have been a tangible help. ” convert and support the fans, which would motivate the hosts to show their best qualities.
In general, the German team played enough to win, we must pay tribute to their head coach Joachim Loew, who, in the absence of a hammering center forward, aimed with his flank forwards to look for free zones in the penalty area of Ukraine, the aggressiveness of the midline players. This allowed the Germans to dictate the terms.
What did you dislike about the game of the Ukrainian team? Errors in the defense safety net, uncertain actions of Andrey Yarmolenko. It seems that Yarmolenko’s troubles at West Ham, where he often remains on the bench, have an impact on his game for the national team. It’s silly when the leader of the national team comes to the country’s main team for the sake of training. I was also surprised by the childish mistake of our goalkeeper Georgy Buschan, which allowed the guests to stand out for the second time. And even some of his spectacular shots did not correct the unpleasant impression of the Dynamo goalkeeper’s game. Although, in general, the Ukrainian team seemed to be a rather monolithic team, and if they played in the optimal composition, they could well have achieved a positive result.
Of course, the disqualification of Andriy Malinovsky is a great loss for the Ukrainian team in the next Nations League game, with the Spanish. In the confrontation with them, we can rely mainly on the sharpness of the counters and the luck when playing set pieces. And it is Malinovsky, with his ability to deliver an accurate pass, with a powerful blow, he will be greatly missed. Therefore, Andriy Shevchenko must think about how to find an equivalent replacement for Malinovsky. I also hope that Buschan has already lost his “butterflies” and is a wall at his doorstep, and our defenders find counter-arguments against penetrating passes from the Spanish, “said Polunin.
