All-rounder of the national Ukrainian futsal team Yevgen Zhuk commented on his team’s victory in the Euro 2026 match against the Czech Republic (5:3), as well as his thoughts on the Blues’ upcoming opponent in the playoffs - France.

“I think if everything had gone according to our scenario, we wouldn’t have missed three goals. So, it was hard, especially in the other half, when the stench came from the very beginning. Apparently, we controlled the group, but in certain moments we had mercy. We need to wake up at five o'clock. In principle, there is something to think about, talk about. I can’t say that everything turned out the way we wanted..

Well, first of all, having scored, but globally I can’t say that I am 100 hundred times satisfied with my game. So, the chances are good, but if those chances are not realized in such important matches, then it doesn’t matter, there’s no stink in you. It would be better if there were two or three moments - and they all ended in a goal.

Quarterfinals with France? Duzhe garniy supernik. We played with them more than once - they are very technical, individualistic, and even a great team. This is the team that plays and gives rewards. It’s easy to play with such teams because you don’t need to think about how people will dig in and play on their own half.. Let's get out the stink openly, let's get out of the way. We also want to serve the sick people so that it’s bright and delicious. Therefore, I think that it will be even more fun,” the press service of the AFU suggests Zhuk’s words..
