- I do not know. We all worked. I think the fans saw that we wanted to win. Perhaps they didn’t work out and somewhere they were unlucky.

- How do you evaluate the football year of the national team?

- How can I evaluate? I am only the second time in the national team, this question is not for me. Scotland? The charge was after 0:3 in Glasgow. Everyone was waiting for this game, they really wanted to win.

- Can we say that the ball did not go into the goal?

- I think everyone saw that we created a lot and could score in the first half - Yarmolenko was almost lucky, I can’t say anything.

- Weather conditions could affect the result?

“Weather conditions are weather conditions. You can talk about everything, but we are professional football players, so the weather has nothing to do with it.

- You didn’t leave the locker room for a long time - did you have a conversation with the coach?

- There was no conversation, the guys are all depressed. Someone was engaged in restoration - saunas, pools, because ...

- Did Petrakov say that this might be his last match in the national team?

- Ask him these questions. I only play football - for Ukraine, for those who are now at the forefront, who are fighting for us. Thanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine that the Ukrainian championship is going on, that our guys can go abroad and play.

- How do you like the support of fans in Krakow?

- It was very good - we heard it and felt it, it helped a lot and pushed us forward.
