Faced with realistic French, Ukraine has failed to make its few great opportunities grow, deploring the lack of efficiency of its players.
Ukraine bowed against the French team (0-2) this Friday during the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. Dominated on most of the meeting, the men of Serhiy Rebrov only disposed of a short moment of the Blues in the second period to plant their bandrillas, without success. Enough to feed some regrets for the Ukrainian coach.
“We also played well in the first period, even if we were more on the defensive. We came to the opposing surface, but there was practically no shots. During the second period, we improved this point ”explained the ex-drummer of Dynamo kyiv at a press conference.
Rebrov takes stock of France
“But France was already playing according to the score and no longer put as much pressure as before the break. She let us control the ball more. We have managed to create several opportunities, but in football, it is important to conclude the attacks. When you play against such a strong team and you do not materialize your opportunities, you lose ”concluded Rebrov. Next meeting against Azerbaijan next Tuesday at the Tofiq-Béhramov stadium.
