Ukrainian National Team Secures Crucial Win Against Georgia in League of Nations – Expert Analysis by Andrei Shakhov

Football journalist and expert Andrei Shakhov commented on the victory Ukrainian national team over the Georgian team in the game League of Nations.

“After two rounds of the League of Nations, our team did not have a single point, and the team, which was considered the main favorite before the start of the competition, settled in last place. According to the rules, the winner of the group rises to the main division with the strongest teams in Europe, and the outside, on the other hand, goes down a lower step, so no team Ukrainian national against elite opponents, but even weaker ones. . But they have already started calling him their favorite Georgian national teamwhich our team played on Friday. The Georgians started with two wins, and at the recent Euro they reached the playoffs.

Despite the large number of those who could not help the team, Ukraine won. For this reason, two new names appeared in the starting lineup: midfielder Gutsulyak on both sides, for whom this was the second game for the first team, and defensive midfielder Kalyuzhny, who made his first his trip there. The two drops did not spoil. And the only goal was scored by Mudryk, perhaps the most criticized player in the national team recently. Objectively speaking, I cannot call the game brilliant or the victory convincing. I think that Ukraine was not better than its opponent, one or the other did not create any chances, and at the end of the game, due to a blunder by the goalkeeper, almost we lost the victory. He saved the opponent’s offside position.

Nevertheless, three points were obtained, and after the first round the Georgians and the Czechs had six points, the Scots and us had three points. Ukraine is still last, because it lost to Albania, but, you see, nothing is lost. On Monday, Ukraine “hosts” the Czech Republic, and in November we have matches in Albania and Georgia. They decide everything,” the Mail Bankova telegram channel quotes Shakhov as saying.
