According to Rebrov, working with the national team is a big responsibility, but he is glad that he joined team in such a difficult time.
– Alexander and I are not the only ones who have such feelings. Every national team player constantly thinks about Ukraine, we talk about it all the time. We know why we are where we are, — because there are guys who are on the front line fighting for our independence. For me as a coach, this is even easier, because I don’t need to motivate my players. They clearly know what they are playing for, they understand their goal, and we are moving towards it, — Rebrov said.
When asked about the difficult sides of the Three Lions team, Rebrov said that it is very difficult to find them, but the Ukrainian team must focus on their game and understand how to counter this opponent.
— However, England — very strong team. Despite staffing problems, it has two or three members. Therefore, we are preparing very seriously, tomorrow we must show our game, — added the coach.
