Former Ukrainian national team player Taras Mikhalik shared his impressions of the friendly match between France and Ukraine, which ended in Paris. .
“The easiest way would be to criticize the Ukrainian team after such a major defeat in Paris. But I won’t. It is at such a time that the country’s main team needs more support. For some reason, many have already begun to forget how recently Andriy Shevchenko charges “to the best national teams, but as soon as they lost twice in a row, rushed. It shouldn’t be like that, it’s not professional.
I am sure that the coaching staff headed by Shevchenko, despite serious personnel problems not only from injuries, but also from a viral infection, will find a way out of this situation. In my opinion, first of all, now we must concentrate on getting the boys out of the psychological “hole” as quickly as possible. However, 1: 7 is a sensitive blow to self-esteem. And we must stay on our feet, especially since there are already official matches with two more giants: Germany and Spain in the Nations League ahead. Without a doubt, considering these fights, Shevchenko exhibited such an experimental team in Paris.
Each defeat has its own positive. Of course, one can complain about the quickly conceded goal, which seemed to unsettle our young players. However, I believe that newcomers Ilya Zabarny, Efim Konoplya, Alexander Zubkov have been enriched with valuable experience that will help them progress. And at the beginning of the second half, the Ukraine team picked up the pace and showed that they could make the world champions think only of defense.
It is better to lose once: 1: 7 than ten times at 0: 1. Only now it is important to thoroughly analyze everything, draw the right conclusions and move on. Furthermore, preparations for the main event, the final part of the European Championship, are in full swing “, summarized Michalik.
