"Stepanov did not get much playing time during his recent appearance for the Ukraine U-21 team, so we consciously decided to give him playing practice with the U-23 team against a strong opponent. This was also clearly discussed with him. He played a very decent game for the U-23 and even scored a goal," Klose is quoted by Bild.
