After the match against Germany in Bremen at the "Weser Stadium," which ended in a 3-3 draw, head coach of the Ukrainian national team, Serhiy Rebrov, held a press conference.

— Questions about the squad. What are the reasons for not including Boyal'skyi, Korchigin, and Rusin?

— We tried to create competition for every position. These players did not make it, but there are no issues with them regarding the training process. It was necessary to decide, but I am confident that they understand this. These players will prepare for official matches.

— A draw (3-3) against Germany — is this a success or did we lose?

— Ask yourself if it's a success to play — 3:3 with Germany. This was an unofficial match. I believe that we created enough opportunities and could have scored even more.

— Were the substitutions planned, or did you decide on them during the course of the game?

— Several substitutions were planned. At the end, we had two more and used them under pressure from the match. Mykola Mykhaylichenko said he felt his knee a bit. For the last two substitutions, we looked at the situation on the field.

— The head coach of the German national team did not comment on Ukraine's performance today. How would you evaluate the team? What are your emotions?

— I am grateful to the players, fans who came to the stadium — we felt their support, which was very important. We felt the support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This match was important for Ukraine, and I am very thankful to the hosts. For me personally, this is an important game, it's my first one. I'm glad that the boys took the game seriously. I believe we showed a decent result.

I repeat, this is an important match for Ukraine. We are all grateful to Germany for their support of our country in the war with the aggressor and for hosting us.
