Assistant head coach of the national team of Ukraine Oleksandr Shovkovskyi expressed his views on the rivals who fell in blue and yellow in the qualification for the 2022 World Cup. By the results of the draw the blue and yellows will play against the teams of France, Finland, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kazakhstan.

- It will be interesting to play against the current world champions, - said Alexander Shovkovsky on meeting of the Parimatch Expert Club. - We can consider France the favorite of our group. In general, interesting teams were selected in it. Finland and Bosnia and Herzegovina have recently shown a confident game, developing, rising, as well as the national team of Ukraine. So we have interesting matches ahead of us. As for Kazakhstan, this team may come as a surprise.

If we want to get to the World Cup, and we want to, then we need to go out, demonstrate the level of the game to which we aspire, and win!
