– We can discuss the topic of the draw for the Ukrainian national team for a long time. I will not do this in principle. First of all, because at this stage there are no weak opponents. Secondly, there is plenty of time until March of next year, and anything can still happen in terms of personnel. The main thing is not to adapt to the face, but to try to demonstrate all your best qualities.
I do not consider the Swedes to be the favorites of the confrontation, although they are a formidable team. I consider the chances to be 50 to 50. A lot will depend on whether our boys will be able to neutralize the Scandinavian strikers Djokeresh and Isak. We should also be careful with the midfielder Kuleshevsky, who is currently injured. But I repeat: I don’t think that the Swedes are in any way superior to us in the team game. It is important to approach the match in combat readiness, and then, as they say, in life there is always a place for a feat, and I hope that Serhiy Rebrov’s wards will not let him down.
As for the final match, it is not yet time to make any assumptions. First, it’s the Swedish barrier, although, in my opinion, the Albanians should not be underestimated in the other pair.
Earlier, the legend of the Ukrainian national team warned Rebrov and the players of the “blue-yellow” team.
