烏克蘭人知道如果他們還想在世界盃上走的更遠,他們比須表現得比小組賽時更好,打出更高的水平來才可以。
雖然主教練布洛欣滿意烏克蘭上場對突尼斯的比賽結果,但他並不滿意球員們的場上表現。他表示球隊需要為下一場比賽作些嚴肅認真的準備,但是他對烏克蘭獲勝仍舊充滿希望。他告訴記者:“這是烏克蘭首次進入世界盃決賽圈,也是第一次從小組賽出線。對於整個國家已經是偌大的成就”

原文:World-Ukraine need to find quality to progress
By Sonia Oxley
BERLIN, June 24 (Reuters) - Ukraine acknowledge they need to play a better class of football than they have shown in some group matches if they are to progress any further in the World Cup.
A scrappy 1-0 win over Tunisia on Friday earned the Ukrainians a second-round match against Group G winners Switzerland, and although coach Oleg Blokhin was satisfied with the result, he was unhappy about the quality of the football.
He said his team needed to do some serious thinking before Monday's match in Cologne but was hopeful that Ukraine could progress to the quarter-finals.
"Chances always die last," he told reporters.
But to get any further they will need to do what no other team has managed in the tournament so far -- score against Switzerland, the only side yet to concede a goal.
That job will fall to striker Andriy Shevchenko, European Footballer of the Year in 2004.
Shevchenko is by far the team's most skilful and well known player, but Blokhin said football was all about the team rather than individuals.
"I don't ever single out one player (for praise or criticism) -- the team either wins or loses," Blokhin said.
The first European team to qualify for the finals, the Ukrainians came to Germany viewed as the dark horses.
A 4-0 loss to group winners Spain raised questions about that, although they answered critics with a 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
Even if Ukraine are knocked out on Monday, the team will still be pleased with their World Cup debut.
"It's the first time Ukraine have got to the tournament, the first time Ukraine have qualified from the group. I congratulate the whole of Ukraine, especially the fans, with this big achievement," Blokhin said.
