The head coach of the Ukrainian national team Alexander Petrakov shared his opinion about some of the players of the national team.

" Guys his role - Sikan, Yaremchuk - I know well. And I still, frankly, did not feel him as a person. I do not want to lie. Let's see how it goes. I do not want to run ahead of a steam train, this is not right. How many footballers did we have. As soon as journalists start praising them, they stop halfway.. You need to know who to praise.

Yarmolenko? I will not look into my passport. A man plays, let him play until he is 40. He is needed at the moment in the team. Yarmolenko shows by his example, and pulls on the field, and pulls in everyday life, and pulls in life, helps young people. He is the leader of the national team.

I called Misha Mudrik and asked: \?

I transfer you to the first national team. I see that you are ready already. Here I put you in the playoffs. You gotta go out and help the national team. Are you ready for this? If it seems different to you, the level is completely different. We have no control games " The guy must be psychologically ready. But he didn't come out, he failed, it pushes him back a little, "

Earlier it was reported that Petrakov may remain at the head of the national team until 2024.
