Head coach of the national women's national team of Ukraine Volodymyr Reva at a pre-match press conference ahead of the 2019 World Cup meeting told how the girls were defeated by Denmark, why the coaching staff, despite the final result, has reason to be optimistic about the game of the team how the blue and yellow will act on the field in tomorrow's game.

"We analyzed the previous match. Yes, the meeting with Denmark was not a very pleasant score on the scoreboard. But we analyzed the game, made some adjustments to avoid making the same mistakes in the match against Sweden. This game is no less important for us, the Swedes have not lost any points in the current qualification. This is the level of the top ten best teams in Europe. In general, both Denmark and Sweden are two teams in our group that set the tone in continental football, ”the leader of the women's national team began talking to journalists.

According to Reva, despite the fiasco in the match with Denmark, the coaching staff did not make any hasty decisions, and even came to the conclusion - Ukraine played no worse than Denmark in the first third of the game, but all broke a quick ball: "Of course, such a result in the first 24 hours does not set to positive. But you can't make emotional decisions. In such situations, each of the girls should awaken a sporty character in order to try to rehabilitate in front of their native fans. When we looked at the analyst, we saw that in the first and second quarters of the match, the girls performed 513 actions with a deficit of 21 percent - a very good figure. But a quick goal broke our plans. "

"Our team is building the game with teams like Sweden, number two. This is a selection plus an attack. In the match with Sweden, we will have more compactness to keep the distance in the lines and not give the guests too much space for constructive action, "- said the coach when asked how the blue and yellow will face the leader of the selection team.

Unfortunately, according to the coach, currently the main team of the country has no one to strengthen the team. The reason is the low level of competition in the championship: "Yes," Legend "is working quite productively on the future replenishment of the team. Mykhailyuk, Pereviznyk, Solomakha are, perhaps, the future main body of the team that will be involved during the further renewal. But in five minutes the skill does not increase. "

The midfielder of the national team Iya Andrushchak also took part in the press conference, assuring the audience that our girls are professionals, and they analyzed their and team actions in the game with Denmark: “Everyone understands who made mistakes and where. This is history, we must go further. We will try to show the same constructive game, but with a different result. The top team of Europe and the world comes to us, all its players play in the best clubs, but we play at home and we really need to rehabilitate in front of our audience. "

"I think that the result on the scoreboard in the previous match did not quite correspond to what was happening on the field. We tried to play, not fight back. Yes, we made mistakes, because we don't have games with such teams at the moment. We do not always know how to act in a given situation. Especially since you missed a quick goal, it's always a little skewed. We have what we have. We have made conclusions and we are moving on, ”Andrushchak said.

It will be recalled that the Ukraine-Sweden match will take place on June 12 in Lviv at the Arena Lviv stadium (starting at 19.00 p.m.). The match will be broadcast on the Football 2 TV channel.
