Ukrainian coach Rebrov: A Results No One Expected

Ukraine's coach, Serhiy Rebrov, said the first loss of his 3-0 team to Romania at Euro24 on Monday was a result no one expected.

Two mistakes by goalkeeper Andriy Lon resulted fatal after Romania passed to Munich through Captain Nicolae Stanciu, with Razvan Marin and Denis Dragus completing the victory in the second half.

No one unfortunately expected this result,” said Rebrov, who led Ukraine to the fourth European championship in a row, despite the country having suffered much damage from the post-Russian invasion in 2022.

The players think they don't do enough. Before the match, I told them that we are representing a great, strong country that is fighting for more than two years for our freedom. Today we have not done well, so they ask the fans for forgiveness. We have to tell another Ukraine about the match against Slovakia. ”

Rebrov said the players had held after the match a meeting only with each other in the dressing rooms and had asked him not to attend.

We all have emotions. Everyone's unhappy. If we don't show our maximum, then it'll be very difficult, no matter who the favourite is, football has to do with what it shows that day. Today we didn't show our level“, said Ukrainian coach Serhiy Rebrov./tvclean. al
