Acting head coach of the Ukrainian national team Oleksandr Petrakov commented on the situation with the older players of Donetsk Shakhtar - midfielder Marlos and forward Junior Moraes - as part of the national team.

We will remind, earlier, Marlos himself confirmed that he completed his performances for the national team of Ukraine.

" The guy came - technical equipment, vision, he held the ball, everything else. But I helped a lot at that time.

But now to come on as a substitute for 15 minutes, to maintain the pace - I will close the way for the young footballer. I'm not a nationalist, but you know what I'm talking about.

Moraes will be 35, Marlos 34. Thank you so much for helping, but we have our guys - they must continue to play, "
