Anticipation Builds: Ukraine Women’s Team Prepares for Match Against Czech Republic
The head coach of the Czech women's national team, Jitka Klimkova, acknowledged that the Ukrainian team has prepared excellently for their first match, which means her players will enter the game with heightened focus.
Her remarks were cited by Fotbal.cz.
"The Ukrainians have done a fantastic job preparing for us. In our last third, they closed us down effectively, and we couldn't play as we did in previous matches."
"Now we are much better prepared for this challenge, and we are also ready to improve certain aspects of our game. The girls know exactly what to focus on during training," Klimkova emphasized.
Remember, today, April 8, the Ukraine women's team will face the Czech Republic in the 4th round of the Nations League.
Currently, the "blue and yellows" lead the group. Just a few days ago, Ukraine narrowly defeated the Czechs (1:0).
Vladimir Pyatenko's team has accumulated 9 points from 3 matches. In the first two rounds of the Nations League, the Ukraine women's team achieved victories against Albania (2:1) and Croatia (2:1).
The Czech Republic team has 6 points. They started the Nations League with wins over Croatia (4:0) and Albania (5:1).
To promote to a higher division, the "blue and yellows" must either top their group or win a playoff against the third-placed team from Division A (if they finish second).
