Defender of the Ukrainian national team U-19 and Shakhtar Victor Kornienko - about the release of his team in the Euro-2018 semifinals.

"In this group all the games were very difficult, but we carefully prepared for the Euro: we gathered in advance, we trained hard and came to the tournament in good form. In every match they performed a coaching installation and showed their football - hence the result, "Victor quotes the official website of the Miner.

"The first place was, perhaps, unexpected, but absolutely deserved:

we defeated the favorite of the championship of France, on an equal footing played with strong Englishmen. The main thing is that they were in the playoffs and were selected for the World Cup, where we will represent our country and the club, "said Kornienko.

The next match, the Ukrainian team U-19 will hold against the odnodok from Portugal. The meeting will be held on July 26 at 15:00.
