The national team of Ukraine on football will start in the qualifying cycle for the 2018 world Cup.
The debut of Andriy Shevchenko as head coach of Ukraine under the guise of “blue-yellow” enter into a new qualifying campaign. The first match of a new era promises to be very difficult – came to Kiev Iceland, pochueva at a recent Euro 2016. Besides, a complete home game for the Ukraine national team this meeting is difficult to call, because the game will be held in an empty stadium for the sins of fans three years ago.
Shevchenko has decided to abandon the study of the friendly match, preferring to call in the national team of 32 players. Nine players from an extensive list already went home (Fishing, beardless, Morozyuk, Yurchenko, Doubt, Karavaev, Garmash, balaniuk and Ksenz).
To the new qualifiers team Ukraine is with a car personnel problems. Only a few players have a stable practice in their clubs (Pyatov, Rakitskiy, Kovalenko, shahs, Stepanenko, Petryak), most of the players have not yet managed to gain a foothold in their clubs (Konoplyanka, Zozulya, Zinchenko, injury) missing an effective striker, injured Khacheridi have problems at cornerback. The main striking force of the team Yarmolenko is clearly not in his element after another fruitless transfer period.
The success in the match with Iceland is largely dependent on whether the Ukrainian team to win the fight and not to make mistakes on set pieces. At the European Championships Icelanders have shown that they are almost impossible to break – if Ukraine does not demonstrate the character and tactical awareness, then expect a positive result (in this instance) will be very difficult. Portugal and England are ready to confirm the words.
Preliminary formulations:
Ukraine: Pyatov — Fedetskyy, Rakitskiy, Kucher, Butko, Stepanenko, Rotan, Kovalenko — Yarmolenko, Konoplyanka — Seleznev
Iceland: Halldorsson — Skulason, R. Sigurdsson, Arnason, Bjarnason — Hallfredsson, Gudmundsson, Gunnarsson — Bodvarsson, G. Sigurdsson,
Finnbogason
