Oleksandr Kosenko shared his thoughts before the game with Rumunia.

The head coach of the Ukrainian national futsal team, Oleksandr Kosenko, commented on his team’s victory over Cyprus (7:0), and also shared his thoughts about the Blues’ match against Romania in the Euro 2026 selection.

" As in any game, there were moments in the national team of Cyprus - we were protected, stood at zero. As we have already said, even wasting a point can negatively affect the position of the other team in the tournament, but it is not our fault to get hung up on not wasting points. We are simply guilty of playing, we are guilty of clearly ending our work, we are guilty of going out to the Maidan and working for those that the boys will work for..

This is a new stage, and that side with the World Championship is already burned out. You can’t live in the past, you need to marvel at the future. We need to start re-rolling again, and I think the boys are getting nowhere. They all want to win, they want to prove that the bronze medal at the World Championships was not lost and that they are a very good team.

Insanely, it will be more important against the Rumanians. Romania is a clearer team. In my opinion, Rumunia has always been a national team. Technical aspects that you don’t like to program. The stench is not less technical, the stench is applied without delaying the fight. That's why it's important. We are playing away, we mean it, but we are not going to comply with the national team of Romania, we will refuse to demonstrate our game. Let us begin to impose our gro. Yak vono viide - marvel, but you will definitely be important gra,” - suggest the words of Kosenko, the press service of the AFU.

Guess what, the match Rumunia - Ukraine will be held today, April 17, at 19:00 outside Kiev.
