Unai Melgos, head coach of the Ukrainian Youth National Team of Ukraine, commented on the removal of the team of the team Vladimir Brazhko at the end of the match with Finland and missing a decisive confrontation with the Netherlands.

“The referee decided to give [другу] yellow card. But we also need to understand how to defend ourselves without fouls. Yellow cards – I will not talk about judging, but we have to understand: folah is one thing when it comes to aggression and another when we look not as good as we wanted.

What did the brother say when he left the field after the red card? Asked him what happened because I was turning away at that moment, [коли він сфолив]. I try to always respond how the player leaves the field: when he is aggressive, I have to reassure him. This is the only thing he asked, “Melgos said.

Recall that the next match of the wards of the Melgosa will be held on Wednesday, June 18 against the Netherlands. This game will take place in Pryashev and will start at 19:00.
