- We tried to play on equal terms with the England team and it turned out. That doubly pleased, managed to recoup. There was a difficult game and the guys showed the character. With the Turkish team I expect an equally difficult match. Turks already do not need anything in the tournament plan after two defeats, but the more difficult it will be for our team. As far as I understand, the main task is to get to the Euro semifinal. The minimum goal is to get into the playoffs for going to the Junior World Championship.

At the moment I see two Euro favorites. This is France, despite the fact that she lost to our team in the first round. And I liked the Portuguese national team. They are champions of Europe U-17 and the same team, with the same coach came to the current tournament. Very fast and bright team. they are interesting to watch. Italy in its own way is good, but they have problems in the defense.

On the other hand, they have guys who are able to lead the game. From England I expected more. I saw their match with Turkey and thought that they would add to the second duel, but, probably, the game of the Ukrainian national team with France alerted the British.

Match Ukraine U-19 - Turkey U-19 will be held on July 23 at 18:30.
