Kermanich of the Ukrainian youth team commented on the victory over Italy.
Previously, the youth team of Ukraine in the middle of the 19th century managed to defeat Italy in the final match of the group stage of the European Championship 2024 and reached the playoffs from another place in Quartet A.
After the completion of the game, the head coach of the “blue and yellow” Dmitro Mikhailenko commented on the performance of the powerful team.
" The boys were very well trained, and for the 2:2 ratio, emotions took precedence over a healthy stomach. So I told myself to calm down and quiver. What could have been changed, we changed during the break. We didn't get everything right.
We understand that the Italians have no sense in playing three matches in this very warehouse, they must have already reached the semi-finals and on the 25th they will play on a natural field.
We were told that six of the Italian nationals were drinking wine in the hall today, so everything became clearer. But I want to respect that Italy has football that is already on the game, and the number of those Vikonians who entered the match today is very high.
It’s a pity that Matkevich, Ponomarenko and Vashchenko will miss the upcoming match. These are the rules, and they are truly wonderful. Because we missed two games in the first match, against Northern Ireland, because we didn’t play a single match, and we were praised for our games in the qualifying round and in the elite round.. Ale minds, however, for everyone.
Those who have decided to enter the world championship and settled in another place in the group are, of course, relieved for us. Since we are supposedly in our third place, it would be even more difficult for us, doctors, who are disqualified and injured.
For the upcoming match we are going to play with renewed vigor, otherwise we will be able to cope with it.
We were really energized by the encouragement here, and the encouragement from Ukraine, which we clearly understood. We realized that we are playing for every Ukrainian. This is the kind of big heart.
I look at the matches of both the French national team and the Spanish national team. The French are even stronger individually, the Spanish are more team players. It seems to me that we will go to France,” said the Ukrainian fahivet.
The upcoming match of the Ukrainian national team U-19 will be held on the 25th of June, at 21:00.
