Georgy Bushchan: “Did the Swedes hit the frame twice? We also had a stable and many moments ... "

Goalkeeper of the national team of Ukraine Georgy Bushchan commented on the victory over Sweden in the 1/8 finals of Euro 2020 (2: 1).

On the way to the quarterfinals of the tournament, Andriy Shevchenko's wards in extra time have overcome Swedes. After the game, goalkeeper Georgy Bushchan shared his emotions.

"Pressure on the national team of Ukraine after the match with Austria? I think that the team arranged it for themselves, because we felt the support of our fans, compatriots. In the match against Sweden, we had to give all our strength to win. After the game in the locker room there was an incredible atmosphere. I don't think unnecessary words were needed.

From the moment we learned that we were staying at the Euros and playing with the Swedes, we started working on this tactic. According to the scheme of five defenders, we played against France on the road, it benefited us. The whole team fought with the Swedes like 40 million Ukrainians.

A penalty shootout? I was sure that the team would press. However, in case of the post-match series, I had one secret. On the bottle was written a list of Swedish players and where they punch the 11-meter.

Now we will prepare for the next match. Ukraine is celebrating with us, but now more will be expected of us. As for the England national team, I have not played with this team this year.

Did the Swedes hit the frame twice? We also had a stable, there were many moments that we did not realize. We controlled the game all the time, making fewer mistakes at our goal. Given all our mistakes in the group stage matches, the football god was with us today.

Besedin's injury? I saw a photo of the collision after the game - it was awful. The whole team supported Artem. I wish him health. He went a long way before that - he himself said that the Euro would not take place without him. Despite the injury, he helped us a lot, leaving the team of ten opponents. I wish that this injury was not severe, "Bushchan said.
