The head coach of the Ukrainian national team Oleksandr Petrakov commented on his team's draw in the fourth round match of the League of Nations against Ireland.

" Forces were not enough, this is the fifth game. Thank them very much. There was fatigue, the guys were tired. All were ill, had a temperature for 2-3 days. Now also 3 got sick. A lot of marriage in the first half is fatigue. The Irish looked fresher than us. I expected that it would be very difficult, it's good that we recouped. Yes, there was a conversation at halftime. They got together and encouraged each other..

Say hello to the Armed Forces of Ukraine - guys, we played for you, something didn’t work out, but the guys gave all their strength. We've done our best. We will continue to think what to do in September.

We are in first place in the group, then the championship will begin, and then we will move on,"

Recall that the Ukrainians yesterday tied with Ireland (1:1) and scored 7 points, leading in their group of the League of Nations.

Scotland is in second place with 6 points, Ireland has 4 points.. Armenia is in fourth place - 3 points.
