Speech by Grigory Kozlovsky on the occasion of historical victory in the UEFA Youth League.

Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy, the head of the Rukh football club, commented on the victory of the U-19 team against the UEFA Youth League over the singles from Inter - 1:1 (4:3 on pen.

" I want to tease the lads. Vahovuyuchi those personnel problems, with which the team got stuck, in fact, three main football players were eliminated. Bulo is important, but at the lads there is fire, the stench fought like Cossacks. For the honor of the club, for the honor of the country. I think that in such a team, in such boys, there is a future. Such footballers truly glorify our country. I am proud for them, for the character that our team has shown.

This result is the same to these skeptics, as they were put in disbelief before our promotion to the UEFA Youth League, and even more skeptical were put up to the results. I'm proud that we didn't bring quiet, who believes in us. And for those who were skeptics, because they didn’t believe us, we now crushed our sympathizers.

True - for us, tse yak dream. І tsey dream threevaє. I said to the lads at the shack: I pray to God that I pray to God, that we won’t break through again for a long time. I think that this dream will be trivati. And not only to the fate, but to the future. For our Academy, children, such as we see, really think of the future. What fanaticism, what faith in our Ukrainian lads are passed on to football players.

V Bachili, 12 collections from different countries of Europe were played at Inter. Selected football players - from Ireland, Serbia, Croatia, France, other countries. And in us - our dear Ukrainian children, like, well, in such matches they become right football players. I'm really proud of our Ukrainian football! Let go of all the problems, for war, as we have, we live to fight,"

Match look:.

The foaling of the 1/8 finals of the UEFA Youth League will be on Monday, February 13. Let's guess that Donetsk Shakhtar U-19 won the round 1/16 final in Croatian Hajduk.
