Former head coachDynamo“and the nationwide staff of Ukraine Jozsef Szabo shared his ideas about it Euro-2024.

– In your opinion, which staff is the very best within the present European championship?

“It is exhausting to say instantly who the principle favourite is. I just like the groups in England, France and Spain. If their leaders in these groups do not get injured, a kind of groups will , I believe, would be the winner for Euro 2024.

If we have been to call one staff from this trio, I’d give desire to England. This nation has the strongest competitors in Europe. Solely from Premier League gamers are you able to assemble not one, however two and even three highly effective groups.

I do not imagine that we’ll see at this Euro a form of mega-sensation, just like the one which occurred on the Euro in Portugal, when the Greeks received in 2004 or when the Danish staff received the European Championship in 1992. This is not going to occur. Success in each Greece and Denmark is a whole accident or a miracle, name it what you’ll, however miracles in soccer do occur, however solely sometimes.

– Who will “mild up” the fields of Germany and in the end be the very best participant at Euro 2024?

“In my view, it ought to, as you say, mild it up, Bellingham. I actually prefer it. Good soccer participant, prime quality. In his youth (20) he has all the pieces to be nice.

– Which of the favourite groups may very well be the principle disappointment on the European Championship?

– Portugal. Why? As a result of their chief Cristiano is now not the identical Ronaldo. He left Europe and performs within the Saudi Arabian league, the place the extent is totally totally different. The sheikhs purchased a bunch of stars there, however…

– At the moment there’s a variety of reward within the home media Ukrainian nationwide staff and so they predict that she’s going to virtually attain the finals. What are your predictions for Sergei Rebrov’s staff?

– I will not be unique if I say we must always go away the group, however then… Then I am going to fear and get sick. Now, earlier than the beginning of the video games, there isn’t any must escalate issues an excessive amount of. Crucial factor is to go away the group and full this process. It does not matter the place, the principle factor is to get to the 1/8 finals.

Belgium is our major rival within the group. A balanced and high-quality staff, which additionally has a number of stars in its composition. For instance, Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester Metropolis. So, earlier than the match with this staff, we’ve to get the utmost, get six factors within the matches in opposition to Romania and Slovakia. This ought to be sufficient to maneuver on.

I learn the information on the Web and plenty of predict even a semi-final for Ukraine. So, I believe we will deal with the finals, if all the pieces works out because it ought to, and someplace Fortune will smile on us.

– The primary star of the nationwide staff of Ukraine in 2024?

– There is no such thing as a major star on this Ukrainian nationwide staff, however there are a number of high quality gamers – Dovbik, Malinovsky, Tsygankov, Mudrik, Lunin. However I sing just one particular person.

It’s unhealthy that Vitaly Mykolenko was injured. It’s not but clear whether or not it should assist Ukraine or not. However I imagine that Zinchenko can change him sufficient. Though I saved studying the information that he was kicked out of Arsenal, that he had a foul season and all that. Alexander is a really skilled footballer who might be equally helpful to the staff each in protection and in assault when he joins the assaults. Zinchenko is on the ball with the ball. It may well present correct transmission at 30-40 meters when wanted. In a phrase, Sasha is attractive.

– Let’s look forward a bit. Will the result of Euro 2024 have a decisive affect on who wins the Ballon d’Or this yr? That’s, does this award assure the success of Kylian Mbappe for France, and Jude Bellingham prone to win for England?

– Bellingham had an ideal season for Actual. He received the Spanish Tremendous Cup, Champions League and La Liga along with his membership, the place he was acknowledged as the very best participant. So, if the England staff wins Euro 2024, the Ballon d’Or will go to Jude. And even with out a victory on the European Championship, the Englishman is my favourite within the battle for this award.
