The head coach of the Ukrainian national team Oleksandr Petrakov spoke about the preparation of the team for the match against Wales in the play-off final of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

ZN. UA will conduct an online broadcast of the match Wales - Ukraine.

" I saw a very good work of the coaching staff. Many world class players - Ramsey, Bale, James. What I saw is a very well-played team. Tomorrow the two teams will meet for the World Cup. This is football and I think that the game will be good, the fans will like it.. But how it will be, I never predict.

We have a difficult situation in the state. Not everyone follows football, we have grief, people are dying. But we do not think about underestimating our team, we only think about how to please our fans and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We will try to do it and we are fully focused on the game, we'll see tomorrow,"

Recall that the Wales-Ukraine match will take place on June 5. The fight starts at 19:00.

If the Ukrainian team can pass Wales, then in Qatar they will play in group B with the teams of England, the USA and Iran.

It is worth noting that the last time the Ukrainian team reached the final of the World Cup back in 2006, and then the team of Oleg Blokhin managed to get into the quarterfinals. Since then, the selection for the World Cup for our team ended unsuccessfully.
