Ukraine midfielder Roman Bezus shared his impressions of the friendly with Estonia (1-0).

Roman Bezus came on as a substitute in the match between the national teams of Ukraine and Estonia immediately after the break. It was he who became the author of the only goal that brought victory to the blue and yellow - 1: 0. After the final whistle, Bezus spoke about his impressions of the game:

"When it came to who will score a free kick, Serhiy Bolbat and Marian Shved expressed their desire. But still the decision was made in my favor. There was already a similar moment in this match, and if I had managed to break five centimeters higher that time, I might have scored earlier. This time the same blow came out, but, fortunately, a ricochet intervened.

The absence of Malinowski and Yarmolenko on the field at that time was also noticeable, because these guys hit penalties much more often than me. I scored the last goal for the national team a long time ago and it was difficult to go for it. I dedicate this goal to my parents who were at the stadium today. We met before the game, talked a little, remembered the past.

I am very pleased that at least for a short time I wore the captaincy of our team. It happened that at that moment I was the oldest in the field. It's just fantastic, and the vivid impressions will stay in my memory for a long time.

Many new connections were being played today, and the coaches set the task to play well, as always. We interacted quite well, but sometimes not everything worked out, because the real teamwork between the new performers was not enough. But the main thing is that we won, and the coaches will further analyze our actions and analyze all the mistakes.

As for the match with the Serbian national team, I am sure that the hosts will have a lot of support in Belgrade. They need to rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans, and our task is to calmly go out and demonstrate our inherent game. You should listen to the coaches' instructions, and everything will be fine. "
