World Cup
TRUBIN: “The goal is the World Championship. Not just getting into the group, but getting out of the group.”
Goalkeeper of Benfica and the Ukrainian national team Anatoly Trubin He talked about the duties of the national team in 2026 as follows:
“World Cup rivals? To be honest, it’s hard to talk about it right now. I know the match with Sweden for sure, but I still can’t quite understand what kind of rivals we are talking about. Yes, they are talking about Albania and Poland, these are serious teams. But right now we have to go through Sweden first.”
Now everyone is in club football, everyone has their own duties, their own focus. Concentrate on the club for now. When the national team time comes, we will prepare for Sweden and continue our way step by step. We have been convinced over and over again that there is no point in getting ahead of ourselves. Everyone remembers how this could have ended.
Of course, the World Championship is a very important and big goal. The last time the Ukrainian national team played there was in 2006, so it would definitely be very, very nice for us. But don’t just go out, make yourself look good, try to stand out from the group.
Therefore, the first task is to participate in the World Championship. I think this is a goal and a dream not only for the players, but also for all the fans and all Ukrainians. “When the national team plays, everyone watches football, even those who don’t follow it much.”
