"Of course, everyone saw: the first 20-25 minutes were very difficult for us. But after the score became 0:1, we realized that we have no way back. We changed our tactics — it worked. As you can see, there was a real national team against Slovakia, not the one in the first game against Romania", Trubin said in a statement.

The goalkeeper, who missed the match against Romania (0:3), said he was ready to play in both games.

"Such tournaments for us players are something unique, especially nowadays. I'm very happy that we were able to win. The third game will be decisive. At national team level, everyone knows how to play, because the best players are here. This is probably one of the most key aspects of the game, and we will have to work on it. And fresh energy is very important — we have spent a lot of energy. But there is time to prepare and tune in for the game", said Anatoly Trubin.

UEFA named midfielder Mykola Șaparenko the best player of the match against Slovakia (2-1), but the fans chose Anatoly Trubin.
