“Volodymyr Tsitkin noted that Ruslan Malinovsky fairy”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
– There were a lot of illogical in these matches. Who, for example, expected such incredible implementation from the Ukrainians in Reykiyavik, when almost all the blows into the plane ended in the gate. Did anyone predict that it would be so difficult in Krakow with Azerbaijanis? After all, they were considered obvious outsiders.
– Then what can you explain such changes in these confronts?
– Our team does not yet have a stock of skill that would allow to take a mountain on the class, like Icelandic and Azerbaijani. Therefore, these twists were so heavy.
You know, he caught himself that it would be much worse if the Azerbaijanis in Krakow leveled the bill in the second half, not before the break. Because in the wards of Sergiy Rebrov it was time to recover, to get the necessary guidance what to do next. And, getting charged with the fight, the nominal owners still bowed the scales of Libra on their side.
– If there were a lot of illogical in these matches, did it not affect the final results?
– I am convinced that each national team will have its own point of view. I believe that Ukrainians, however, were closer to victory than rivals to escape from defeat. Although the game and the winners had unsuccessful segments, there were no annoying mistakes. Remember at least the first goal, missed by the goalkeeper Anatoly Trubin in Reykiyavik.
It is important that these duels were very informative for Sergei Rebrov’s leadership and his assistants. Now it is advisable to work productively on the permitted miscalculations. This is important, because on November 16 with the same Icelanders will still have to play. It is possible that it is in this match that the fate of the second place in the group will be decided, which will allow to continue the fight for the permit at the 2026 World Cup in the Playoff round.
– And which of the Ukrainians do you have the least claims?
– Ruslan Malinovsky to the midfielder of Genoa. At one time, I had to enter the coaching staff of the Junior National Team of Ukraine, for which the pupil of Shakhtar performed. Even then, he was marked by high football intelligence, performance, non -standard actions. This helped him progress. As for reporting duels, Malinovsky returned to the system after a serious injury. He confidently assumed the role of the leader. Respect.
– You hinted above that the intrigue in our group will disappear only after the duel on November 16 with the Icelanders. To whom do you prefer?
– It is too early to make some forecasts. It will depend a lot on whether the opponents will be able to expose combat warehouses, in particular, it is very much to leave as soon as possible the infirmary of our Alexander Zinchenko, Georgy Sudakov, Viktor Tsigankov, Roman Yaremchuk, which will make it more acute for a place in the start. It should also be borne in mind that the Icelanders are still waiting for the far road to Azerbaijan, and this may affect their physical condition. Finally, what when Ukrainians do not lose France, and the owners will win in the tank? I repeat, there is often a lack of logic in football.
