In the semi-finals of the tournament there will be two best teams.

"Mood? If in a nutshell, then at the highest level. We understand that we did a useful thing for the country - we reached the final part of the European Championship. But the team tries not to stop at the achieved. However, as everything happens, only matches will be shown, "- quotes Buletsu official website of FFU.

"Artificial lawn?

As we were told, this is a new generation lawn, but so far I have not noticed any great differences compared to our artificial fields".

"The state of the team? Again, the answer to this question will only be the meetings with France, England and Turkey. But we believe in ourselves ".

"Naturally, we simply do not want to participate in the tournament, but we want to win. Therefore, I will say this: the Ukrainian team wants to go as far as possible ".
