Head coach of the Ukrainian national team U-19 Dmytro Mikhailenko shared his thoughts on the results of the draw for the final part of Euro 2026.

Fahivets noted that it is inappropriate to evaluate a foal from the point of view of satisfaction, and even on such an equal basis all teams demonstrate a high class.

" All teams are very equal and very strong, but everything will remain in preparation for that generation. The group looks as loyal as possible."

In spite of jealousy, the mentor saw two teams that may have more changes in their minds for success.

" In front of us, Italy is a traditionally strong team on this level. It is also important to note Serbia: the current generation is considered one of the strongest in their history. A lot of Gravians are squandering solid pennies on the transfer market and have serious gaming evidence on the highest level, including in European clubs..

We can’t boast about them, so we can regard Italy and Serbia as favorites.”.

Mikhailenko also guessed the front lines with one of the opponents and recognized that the team has additional motivation.

" We already played against Serbia in the final part of the European U-17 Championship in Cyprus. Even though it was a match-winner, Ukraine ended up with a 1:2 score,” said the coach.

Guess what, the Ukrainian U-19 team shared points with Romania in the final round of the Euro 2026 qualifying round.
