– What will be your forecast for the final place of the Ukrainian national team in the current qualifying tournament?
– Of course, everyone wanted us to take first place, but in our group there is France, which has a slightly easier calendar of remaining matches and has a handicap in points. I am sure of one thing, that the Ukrainian national team will be able to beat Iceland, and this will guarantee second place.
If now were a different time, maybe the result would be different. We should not forget that we live in a state of war. Our national team, like the clubs, do not have the opportunity to play international matches on their field, and this, I will tell you, gives a good advantage to the opponents. Therefore, I think, a ticket to the World Cup will have to be obtained through face-to-face matches. I really want everything to work out for Serhii Rebrov and his wards, said Vernydub.
After four matches played, Serhii Rebrov’s wards are on the second step of the tournament table. “Blue and Yellow” scored seven points after 4 matches played.
