draw with this scotland, we should have won because we said that scotland lost mcdomain and robertsonrney and patterson, well, you could have all of them. they lost four of the most expensive players out of the five, because if they were really all healthy, then i have a question, who is the stronger national team, ours or scotland, because there as all these players are right, they play in the top clubs of the epl, but against this scotland, losses are not a victory, this is an agreement, this is a failure, very serious losses, because in scotland and scotland, we note once again that it is not france, not spain, not england, not italy, not germany, that is, it is not a top national team therefore, it was necessary not just to fight against this scotland on equal footing, but it was necessary to win, because that was one of the two matches that we had and the scots, again, the context is, after all, the analysis of the general work of the coaching staff oleksandr petrakov and here it is necessary to decide because oleksandr petrakov is this, but there needs to be a headquarters where
