On Monday 12 June, the Ukraine national team played a friendly with Germany 3-3. The game took place in Bremen at the Weserstadion stadium. The post-match press conference of the head coach of the Ukrainian national team Serhii Rebrov is to your attention.
- A question about the bid for the game. What were the reasons for not including Bujalskiy, Kochergin and Rusin?
- We tried to create competition for every position. These players dropped out, but there are no questions regarding the training process for them. We had to decide, but I am sure they all understand. These players will prepare for official matches.
- Was the 3-3 draw with Germany a success or did we let them win?
- Ask yourself whether the 3-3 draw with Germany is a success or not. It is an unofficial game. I think we created enough chances and could have scored even more.
- Substitutions were scheduled, or did you decide them in the course of the match?
- Several substitutions were scheduled. We made two and used them at the end of the match. Mikolenko said he felt his knee a bit.... In the case of the last two substitutions we looked at the situation on the pitch.
- The head coach of the German national team did not assess the game of the Ukrainian team in any way. How could you assess today's team? What are your emotions?
- I am grateful to the players, fans who came to the stadium - we felt their support, it was very important. We felt their support. This game was important for Ukraine, I am very grateful to the home team. For me personally, it is an important match, it's the first one. I am glad that the guys took the game seriously. I think we showed a decent result.
Again, this is an important match for Ukraine. We are all grateful to Germany for supporting our country in the war against the aggressor, for this meeting.
