Ukrainian youth team will play with France in the quarterfinals of the tournament
Youth midfielder Ukrainian national team Artem Bondarenko shared his expectations from the match against France in the 1/4 finals of Euro 2023.
“Ruslan Rotan, first of all, congratulated us on leaving the group. His main message was that we can play good football with good results. The draw against Spain gives us such confidence, we could even win. This is a good result of our work.
Now let’s take a break and reboot. The quarter-final is like a completely different tournament, a knockout game, more psychological pressure. I think it will be more difficult,” Bondarenko said.
Ruslan Rotan’s team took second place in group B. In the quarterfinals, Ukraine will play with the winner of the quartet D – the French team. The fight will take place on July 2 in Cluj-Napoca. The beginning is at 22:00 Kyiv time.
In the 1/2 finals, the winner of the France-Ukraine pair will play with the best in the confrontation Spain-Switzerland. The semi-final match will take place on July 5 in Bucharest.
The final of the European Championship 2023 is scheduled for July 8 in Batumi. Recall that the three best teams of the tournament, except for France and England, will receive tickets to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
