Tomorrow, June 18, Ukrainians will meet with Dutch peers. To reach the 1/4 finals of the playoffs of the “blue-yellow” tournament, you need to win at least one score, while the defeat will lead to departure.
“We hope to play a draw for a draw? I understand that all teams are sometimes faced with such a choice. We will play to win, at least because it is very difficult to play a draw for 90 minutes. We now think more about the game itself than the final result, because if you have a lot.
Not only I, but all the trainers at the press conferences answer the questions like “What are your expectations?”, “Do you think?” or “How better or worse?” But, honestly, these are not real stories, but only their imagination. I only know one thing – tomorrow we have to fight, show our best game and be a united team. We want to move forward in this tournament. And tomorrow we will have a good opportunity.
We have a loss, as you know, Vladimir Brazhka through a red card. Almost all other players are currently feeling normal. However, some performers have such a problem that they arrived at the team of the national team with small injuries. They need time to recover and they are not ready at 100 percent.
Egor Yarmolyuk’s mental level? Yegor is a very good guy. He listens to our instructions, so we communicate with him normally. It is 100 % open to this. This is the most important thing for me. On the other hand, it is very useful on the field, creates moments. This is a player who works for the full during the match is not lazy. I think it is very good for us that it is in a team, because it can really help. I think that tomorrow will be a good chance for him and he can do his share of work on the field, ” – quotes Melgos’s official website of the UAF.
Earlier, Yarmolyuk himself shared his expectations against the match against the Netherlands.
