“He was everywhere.” In France, the best player of the Ukrainian national team was named

On Thursday, November 13, a match of the fifth round of selection for the World Cup 2026 took place, in which the teams of France and Ukraine met. “Blue and Yellow” suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 4:0.

After the match, the French press published evaluations of Ukrainian football players and chose the player who became the best in Serhii Rebrov’s team.

“Being in the middle of the game, Yehor Yarmolyuk was responsible for advancing the ball and disrupting French counterattacks. He fulfilled this mission perfectly in the first half. The Ukrainian was very active and aggressive.

In particular, he took away an important ball from Michael Olise in the 30th minute. This is the best Ukrainian player in the first 45 minutes. Yarmolyuk was everywhere: constant pressing, accurate reading of the game, clean tackles.

A solid first half full of tension. The only minus is that Yarmolyuk violated the rules against Ugo Ekitike in the 74th minute and received a fair yellow card from the referee,” noted France.
