Yarmolenko: It is necessary to move on, nothing terrible has happened

In the final match of the Nations LEague-2022/2023, the national team of Ukraine drew with Scotland (0:0) and did not manage to get promoted to division A. After the match, team's captain Andriy Yarmolenko spoke about result.

"We didn't win, we didn't get the result we wanted, but I'm proud to be here, proud of the guys who fought on the football field. We did what we agreed on before the match - not to lose the fight. I think we played well considering the weather conditions. The field was not in the best condition. But this is by no means an excuse. This is football. Sometimes you score some illogical goal and win, sometimes you create a lot of chances and don't score. If Artem Dovbyk or I had scored in the first half, the game would have been a little different. But sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It is necessary to move on, nothing terrible has happened.

I think the fans in the stands enjoyed themselves. They saw the most important thing - that we are fighting for this coat of arms on our chest, for the shirt we wear. We would like to express our big thanks to them for coming to support us in such weather at this difficult time. We felt support that was at the top level.

Football is such a thing that you just have to work on, and then the result will come. We gave all of our strength. Sometimes you score from a half-moment and win. Sometimes you create 10 scoring chances and you can't score. This is football. Therefore, we move on, nothing terrible happened. I think that the fans were satisfied with our game, but not with the result," said Yarmolenko after the match in Krakow.
