Head coach of Ukraine U-19 Alexander Petrakov commented on the upcoming match with England on Euro-2018.

The match between the junior teams of Ukraine and England will be held on July 20. The meeting starts at 18:30.

"We played with them in 2014 and 2016. I remember every game. They trained at their base. Also I saw all the matches of England in the qualifying round. A good team with a lot of strengths. England has no weak players. There are world champions born in 2000, who obtained the title at the U-17 World Cup in India in 2017 ", - quotes Petrakov official website of the channel Football.

"Sometimes I talk with the guys and give an example. At the age of fifteen, we beat the Serbs with Milinkovich-Savich. Then they became world champions, and we, in turn, started to slow down, attitude to football, to the training process, everything began to deteriorate ".

"We reach a certain point: it turned out a bit, earned money, bought a car, bought an apartment. And at this moment our football player stops. Now Milinkovich-Savich is worth 150 million, and our players are dissolving ".

"Sometimes, just look in the eyes of the guys - one understands you, and the second looks past you. If out of 20 people listen to five - this is probably a frank success. If our players stroked the head, say what they are good ... We have a different mindset. Our guys need a whip and a carrot, and basically a whip. It will only benefit them ".

Recall that the youth team of Ukraine up to the age of 19 pulled the victory over one-year from France in the first round of Euro-2018.
