We must be realistic": the Ukrainian national team risks relegation to the third division in the League of Nations for the first time.
Everything will be decided in the game of the sixth round with Georgia. A win is enough for Ukraine to secure a place in the second league, while the Georgians will be satisfied with just a win.
The team placed last in the group will play head-to-head games with a third division team.
"You have to be realistic, anything can happen. We can also play in the C League - we have to face the truth and understand it, - stated Ilya Zabarni after the defeat against Northern Ireland. "If we don't want to do that, we have to win the next game."
"Division C is still far away," noted Vitaliy Mikulenko. - Even the fourth place [in the group] is close matches. That's why I don't see a big problem there now."
