The Ukrainian fahivet shared his thoughts after the game with Latvia.

Head coach of the Virmenia national team Oleksandr Petrakov commented on his team’s performance in the match of the seventh round of the Euro 2024 qualifying cycle against Latvia (0:2).

" Friend: I take this shock upon myself. This is my trainer's shock.

I’ve already learned how to lie on the ropes, that the boys are not the same - it’s even more imposing to walk around. I got ahead of my ears, said, talked to them, alas, melodiously, it didn’t hit them.

I, as a coach, didn’t know how to chicken them out, let’s say, roll over.

And the stinks came out under-adjusted to the game, they thought about how masterful they are, that the stinks, you know, can do everything - sing-song, so you can figure out that they can do a lot. They came out unfinished - and, you see, they paid.

Latvia was elected, fought. The boys were fighting on the football field, but there was nothing in us. Too many people have fallen, so this is my defeat,” the press service of the Virmenia Football Federation said to Petrakov..

After six rounds, Vermenia scored this point and is in third place in Group D, while Latvia has three points and the remaining row.
