Heorhii Bushchan: Austria, like us, wants to win. It will be an interesting match

Players of the national team Serhii Kryvtsov and Heorhii Bushchan took part in the regular press conference held today at the Ukrainian Media Center in Bucharest.

Here are the answers to Heorhii Bushchan's questions.

Can you link your outstanding recent progress, іwith the advice of Mircea Lucescu and his coaching staff? What helped you demonstrate such a cool game?

- I'm just doing my job. I try to do it well, although it does not always work. As for support, of course, from Lucescu, it is. But first of all we need daily work and communication with the coach of Dynamo goalkeepers. I have been working with him all my professional career. And plus after each game or training the analysis is carried out. You analyze what happened, what - no, and remove the excess. So today I have progress, and I would not like it to stop.

Thank you for the emotions you gave us, bringing joy to all of Ukraine. And how do you spend your free time? Probably tired of the rains in Bucharest?

- To date, we have not done anything to be proud of us. The fact that there were emotions is good. But you need to prepare with a clear head for the next game, because it often happens that from love to hate - one step. To prevent this from happening, we are preparing for the match. About free time ... We spend it sometimes fun, sometimes not so much. We live like in an expensive boarding house - you can't go beyond the fence through Covid. We watch YouTube, TV series or read books.

You are now 27. After two great matches, you have increased press attention. You are probably in the top 3 according to media reports. Does this information pressure affect you?

- I like this attention, but I try not to think about it. I have already passed the age when I was impressed by what was written about me. They write differently. Sometimes I look at it with a smile, sometimes I just flip through the materials. I do not pay special attention to this.

In your youth, your idol was Andrii Shevchenko. Can you remember your emotions from the first call to his team?

- I saw his game when he played for Dynamo Kyiv. I will say that my expectations from the call-up to the Shevchenko national team corresponded to reality. Before the first call, at first I thought it was a joke, then I was very excited. In the end, I arrived, I knew all the guys before, good company gathered. It was a warm atmosphere and it was fun to prepare for the matches.

- У In two matches at Euro 2020, you missed four goals, but at the same time you were one of the best players of the national team of Ukraine. How do you rate your game in these matches? And the second question: do you read materials in the press after the games, and how do you react to transfer rumors about you?

- It's nice to read that different clubs are interested in me. But so far I have not heard of any specifics. As for the matches, I have questions for myself. And I know the answers to them. I analyze and therefore from game to game I better understand what can be done and what cannot be done.

According to statistics, the national team of Ukraine is in the top three teams whose goals are scored most often. And you are in the top three goalkeepers who have made the most saves. To what extent does this give cause for concern for the work of the protective link?

- Now all teams have learned to defend and attack. High-level footballers play at Euro 2020, and it is not always possible to avoid shots on goal. My job is to stand on the tape and try to repel these blows. This number of shots on goal can be explained by the fact that everyone has learned to attack. We must, of course, pay more attention to defense.

Our team in the match with Austria is satisfied with a draw. How much will it help you or, conversely, cool you down?

- I have not played in any match with the thought that I need to draw. We go out on the field to win, and the course of the match shows whether you can win or not. I think that the Austrian national team will be ready to win. It will be an interesting match, and we look forward to it.

You hit back from an 11-meter mark by Alioski. How much time in training do you spend repelling a penalty?

- In the training process, special days are very rare when penalties are trained. But I often try to stay after workouts with Zinchenko or Malinovskyi. They shoot from the spot. The work continues. And before the game, we make sure to see who takes the opponent's penalty. Therefore, the plus-minus is the understanding of where it can break through.

You have already seen two matches of the Austrian national team at Euro 2020. How do you evaluate her game and who could you single out personally?

- A good team, with character. The Austrians have an excellent line of attack, they hit a lot on goal, a lot of flank passes. Today there will be a theoretical lesson, and full-fledged preparation for this match will begin.
