The head coach of the Ukrainian national team spoke about the emotions from the team’s first match in 2022.
The head coach of the Ukrainian national team Oleksandr Petrakov summed up the victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the first match of the national team in 2022. According to the mentor, the start of the game was difficult, as the team had long missed out due to the war .
“The first game, the national team didn’t play for six months, I didn’t work for six months. I didn’t work for six months, the war started. There were no questions for the boys, well done. this stage, they did everything well.Many mistakes, we will correct.
Very nice atmosphere. Honestly, there were even tears in my eyes, goosebumps came down on my skin. The unity of our people is very good. Thanks to the Ukrainians for going and supporting us, thanks to the Germans. Nice atmosphere.
Control the game, no need to make such a hasty conclusion. You don’t have to praise guys. We have ahead of us the main game. I’m still thinking about who I’ll put in against Scotland. It was a test battle, but the officers were different. The men scored, I praised them, we move on.
If we play official matches according to the preliminary schedule, then on the eve of the League of Nations, I will assemble a team at the end of May. I will give the boys a break after the championship. And now it is almost impossible to find a sparring partner in Europe.
People from the UAF are doing their best to find rivals. We will play Empoli and Rijeka, who responded. On May 19-20 I will give the guys two days, and on May 21 we will have a training session. I want players to see their families.
As for the battles after that, I don’t know how it will turn out. There are options on African teams. It’s impossible to play on club teams, because after championships, no one wants to wait to spar with us. People are working, UAF President Andrei Pavelko is dealing with this issue, ”Petrakov said at a post-match press conference.
