Former Shakhtar and national team goalkeeper Yuriy Virt shared his thoughts on the composition of the Ukrainian national team, evaluating the goalkeepers in an exclusive comment for sport.ua. The expert notes that despite some shortcomings in playing on exits, Kharkiv's goalkeeper Georgiy Yermakov is fully prepared to play for the Ukrainian national team.
I was present at the cup match between Kharkiv and Prykarpattia. I have some remarks about this goalkeeper's game on exits. However, this is by no means a reproach, Georgiy, in my opinion, is worthy of a call-up to the national team. He is the best goalkeeper of the Premier League in the 2024/2025 season, has experience playing in Europe for Maccabi (Haifa). If he is trusted with a place in the goal, I think Yermakov will cope with this pressure.
