U-19 Dynamo U-19 coach Igor Kostyuk commented on the draw results of the UEFA Youth League.

"The opponent took it very well: it's better to play with such strong opponents than, for example, with Moldovan or Slovak teams. Here the level is stronger, in addition, the Italian school is famous for the quality of football players, they have a lot of their own pupils. We are ready to play with Inter, we will try to act with dignity. Before the draw, there were no special preferences, any opponent should be played, and I do not like making predictions, "says Kostyuk.

"It's good that this round consists not of one game, but of two - it minimizes accidents. Who is stronger, that naturally passes on. You remember our matches with Ajax and Middlesbrough, when everything was decided in a single duel ".

"The Italian teams have never played in the finals, Danish and Finnish - also. But we see Salzburg, whose generation of young players won the Youth League last season. School is good, here are the Austrians and presented a surprise. So the surprises should be expected from a representative of any country. Now all teams are able to play football, and coaches are trained, improve their skills. If before there was a lot of classified information, now everyone is traveling around Europe and the world, studying. Everybody knows the tendencies of modern football. It all depends on how the players were brought up, and how the coach trained them. In short, there are no favorites and those who are obviously weaker ".

"As for our application for the tournament, with it we are almost determined - there were 1-2 people in doubt - these are players born in 1998, we can declare three of them. Now we are discussing this issue, we are solving. You know, because of the injury in the game with Shakhtar, the central defender Denis Popov flew out. In general, while we think, but in the coming days we will be determined, "- concluded Kostyuk.

Note that the first match against Inter will take place on September 27 at the exit.
