Ukrainian coach: Albania on the rise

The opponent is certainly strong.

Ukraine is really at war as a state, but for its nationals it is more motivation to win.

Coach I team, former Dinamo's great striker of Kiev, Serhi Rebrov, however, first speaks of Albania, the first rival in the League of Nations, giving him a very high assessment.

I think Albania was not lucky with European lots. All rivals were at a very high level. Albania was well protected in all matches. However, in the preliminary phase the Albanians played with great confidence in themselves, they have a very strong team. All players play in Europe, almost all formations play in the Italian championship. We will take this rival very seriously. I think Albania has not yet shown its full potential, which is very large”.

Ukraine certainly has problems and some players are missing because of the damage, but Rebrov does not want to talk about it, abcnews writes.

He clearly states his team's goal.

Any match for Ukraine is very important. I told the players that it doesn't matter what tour it is, or whether it's friendly. We qualified in the Europeans because of the League of Nations. Guys understand that. Even though these are almost friendly matches, we give us a chance to qualify for the World Cup. We're taking this tournament very seriously”
