“There was a very difficult match – both for me personally and for all the guys. An unpleasant rival. We owned the ball more, but in the last phase of the attack there was a little lacking skill. We had to get from this match more than 1: 1 but nothing wrong. There is no time to think about it – we move on. We must set up to the next match, and God forbid, that everything will come out as we want.
When I made a penalty, I immediately flashed in my head that I would beat myself. Then they started discussing, and yet I punched. He did not realize, but the judge noted that the goalkeeper began to move early. I had to beat again, but Gennady Sinchuk approached me and said he wanted to try. I said, let him beat, because the most important thing for me is to win the match, and whoever kills, I or someone else, indifferent.
Sinchuk misses the next match because of the yellow cards. It is a dynamic football player that we will be very lacking. But we have something we have many good performers, ”Alexander said.
After two rounds, Dmitry Mikhailenko’s wards scored 4 assets. “Blue and yellow” beat South Korea (2: 1) and played with Panama (1: 1). Match Ukraine – Paraguay will take place on Friday, October 3. The starting whistle will sound at 23:00 Kyiv time.
