Oleksiy BELIK: “There are young people in the Ukrainian national team who will replace the leaders”
Former Shakhtar striker and Ukraine national team Oleksiy Belik believes that the match against Ireland, in which Ukraine played as a reserve team and won, shows that the team has talented young people.
“The match against Ireland will be difficult, it was felt. As for the quality of the game, it was not bad. But the main thing is the victory. In these times, this is the most important thing. This win will help us a lot in the next matches because after the Wales game we were in a very difficult situation because you don’t lose a World Cup ticket every day but I think we succeeded.”
“As for the young players, they are very talented and have a great future. But in every game and every practice the youth have to prove that they were not in vain in the national team camp. I can say that they played well in the Ireland game. After the Wales game, they were tired not only physically, but also mentally. You can see that in the game. “
“But I think they did well. We have young people who can replace our leaders in the future,” he said.
