Youth Euro 2023 match starts at 19:00
Youth midfielder national team of Ukraine Artem Bondarenko commented on the upcoming match of the second round of the group round European Championship 2023 U-21 with the national team Romania.
“You can’t judge Romania by the match against Spain, because we understand the strength of this team. We expect a very different match from Romania and are preparing for what will be a very difficult game for us.”
“The stadium filled with fans gives them an advantage, but still we miss the fans. In the UPL, we are now playing without fans, and any such football atmosphere gives us energy and impetus.”
“Hopefully we will win. In the second half, we played more with the Croats in the second half – 2-0 on a psychological level gave us the opportunity to step back a bit.
“I want to say that every game is important. We are aware of what is at stake in this match, but try not to focus too much on it. Just getting ready like a regular game. Full stadium and after the match with Spain. I’m sure Romanians will be angry.”
“Probably, I would like to improve my statistics. Everyone wants to score and I am no exception. But this is one of the factors. Still, probably, the selection of the ball. I know my weaknesses and I’m working on it.”
“The first thing that comes to mind is that it is very stuffy here and there are a lot of midges. These are the two main problems. Now is the time for acclimatization. I think that it will be successful, and every day we get more and more used to the weather. I think that on the day of the game against Romania it will be a little easier physically. In general, they promise 36 degrees, but we will try to get used to it.”
In the first round of group B, the Ukrainian U-21 team beat Croatia thanks to goals from Oleksiy Kashchuk and Daniil Sikan — 2:0. Romania crushingly lost to Spain – 0:3.
The Rotanya team will play against Romania on June 24 in Bucharest. The beginning is at 19:00 Kyiv time.
