Serhiy Rebrov: I always considered Slovakia a strong team
Serhiy Rebrov, head coach of the Ukrainian national team, held a press conference on the eve of the second round match of Group E against Slovakia.
"Everyone in the team is responsible for the defeat against Romania. It is the fault of both the coach and the players.
I select players based on what form they are in and their level. The European Championship is the highest level that is possible. Every fan has their own vision, and we have some problems with the squad, but all the players who went helped us.
I always considered Slovakia a strong team. They have players representing good clubs. When I analyzed them, I saw that they were very disciplined. They played great against Belgium. We will treat our opponents with great respect".
