Oleh Blokhin: "I would personally send my players to see their wives if we reach the semis"

Ukraine's players have been promised quality time with their wives if they reach the World Cup semi-finals, Reuters reports.

Asked if he would allow his players to have sex with their wives and girlfriends during the month-long tournament, Ukraine coach Oleh Blokhin said: "I would personally send my players to see their wives if we reach the (World Cup) semis."

"Those who don't feel like it, I'll just drag to their wives. Take my word for it," Blokhin told Russian daily Sport-Express on Tuesday.

The World Cup kicks off on June 9.
