Former head coach of Dynamo Kyiv and the Ukrainian national team, Jozsef Szabo, commented on Yevhen Konoplyanka’s substitution in the Euro 2024 qualifying match against England (0:2).
“I was sitting at the TV and I was ashamed that he was released for a minute and a half. No need to humiliate a football player like that. It’s a shame. Came out, out, stop in the game and the referee whistled.
Why was it necessary to release Konoplyanka? Because of the criticism of the call decision? So it was necessary to give him at least 10 minutes to show that he can,” said Sabo.
Recall Konoplyanka played for the Ukrainian national team for the first time in the last 2.5 years.
