The youth team midfielder shared his thoughts after the game with England.
Ukrainian youth team player Oleg commented specifically on his team’s victory in the Euro 2025 qualifying match against England (3:2).
" I don’t think there will be fireworks in England. Of course, it’s good to play in the attack, to control the ball quickly. This is a butt for us. We practiced our defense, but if the weather turns miracles.
Goal from free kick? We trained these standards before the game. They turned it around at the gate and just served it. I assured that the boys should stand in front of the goalkeeper and hope to break through. It so happened that I received kindly.
I believe that we can overcome.
We played well on the defensive, clearly launched into counterattacks when we had few moments. They moved the line, moved through the flanks, began to play long passes, diagonals. This caused us a lot of problems, but we got into trouble with them.
Great comments about the remaining matches. We tried our best to overcome. If we were traveling with the boys, then we ended up with nothing more than victory, no one else,"
