Ukrainian Football Federation (UAF) once again gave reason for criticism from Ukrainian football fans. The UAF was looking for a new head coach for a very long time. As a result: Oleksandr Petrakov has been assigned as the acting head coach. The specialist is known as the winner of the World Under-20 Championship in 2019. But, unfortunately, his main experience is youth national teams. It is clear to everyone that this coach is only a temporary solution to the problem, and the UAF is trying to get Rebrov appointed. But perhaps in this situation, Oleksandr Petrakov, was the best candidate. He has a good past, he knows many players well, and his motivation will be prohibitive. However, he will have to solve the problem of the absence of Trubin, Buschan, Lunin, Dovbik, and most likely Yaremchuk. In this sense, we can say that Ukraine is lucky to face Kazakhstan in the first game. In Kiev the teams played in a draw. At that time, Ukraine had already entered a crisis, which subsequently led to a mediocre performance at the Euros and the dismissal Shevchenko. The arrival of Petrakov should be a breath of fresh air. Such a restart should help Malinovskiy and Zinchenko, who were unsuccessful in the last tournament. Ukraine is stronger than Kazakhstan in many ways. "The yellow-blue" should gain a positive result in this match.
