The coach admitted that no one expected such a result. Although his players had an advantage on the field, they were unable to create any effective actions. This was reported on the official website of the Ukrainian Football Association.
Obviously there were different parts of the game. We had the ball but didn’t create any chances. Nobody expected such a result. A very serious game awaits us ahead. We must talk among ourselves and prepare for the next meeting, Rebrov noted.
The Ukrainian coach also said that he told the players that Romania is a football nation, and their team knows how to play football.
Rebrov emphasized that the team should now focus on the next game against Slovakia.
Defender Alexander Zinchenko and goalkeeper Andrei Lunin also made statements about the match in comments to Public. The Arsenal legionnaire admitted that “it was very embarrassing to look our fans in the eyes, everyone who came to support us,” but stressed that “we need to show our reaction in the next game.”
And the goalkeeper of Real Madrid commented on the three missed goals from the Romanians.
Everyone saw it. The first ball was my technical mistake, it just happened. There is no explanation here. Then the ball was simply not visible, a little luck in the episode with the second goal. The episode with the third goal was not sorted out. These are our mistakes, we need to correct them and move on,” he said.
There were some scandals; during the match, unknown people hung a Russian rag in the stands – the flag of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic was hung on the stands of fans of the Romanian national team.
In addition, the main broadcaster of the match, the Megogo service, failed Ukrainian football fans. From about the 60th minute, it was impossible to watch the match in Ukraine because the broadcast “fell.” Subsequently, Megogo explained the large-scale failure as “weather conditions.” It was noted that there was a technical failure of the content delivery network.
Let us remind you that in their first match at the 2024 European Championship in Germany, the Ukrainian team sensationally lost to Romania. Sergei Rebrov’s team lost with a crushing score of 3:0.
