Vladimir Yezerskiy is an important part of the Ukrainian team and very highly thought of.

He only missed one of Ukraine's qualifying games, and that was due to injury.

He may not be the most cultured of defenders, but his no-nonsense approach makes him highly effective, and he rarely makes mistakes.

Strong in the tackle, he leaves the pretty stuff to his team-mates, but he still performs a vital role in the side, and his wealth of experience will be crucial as well.
