Oleksandr Petrakov, head coach of the Ukrainian national team, spoke at the press conference after the game with Scotland.

— Why did your team look different today than before?
— We didn't have the main players who were injured, so I gave a chance to other players to play. Zinchenko, Bushchan did not play. Trubin played well. I gave others a chance, but they failed. In the first half the team looked ok, and in the second we were lacking so much... Our football is a little different to British football. I warned the guys, told them about it.

— Do you think that now Scotland has the best chances to win the group?
- First we will analyze the game. Nothing is lost yet. Ahead is an important match with Armenia, two matches in total. I am optimistic about the future, we will do everything possible to take first place.

— Why did you replace Stepanenko during the break?
- He had a yellow card. I talked with him during the break, decided to replace him.

— Could you comment on Bondar's game? You had a dilemma, who to pick — him or Kryvtsov?
— There is always a dilemma. I decided to play with this lineup. Everything is decided by the head coach. The team wins, and one person loses - the head coach. It's my fault.

— Will Anatoliy Trubin remain in the team location?
- I made a decision, I thanked him. He will go to help the youth national team of Ukraine. Kovalenko will also leave the location of the team. He had an MRI, he has an injury.
