The defender believes that the youth team of Ukraine has become stronger since the last meeting with the French
Defender youth team of Ukraine Oleksiy Sych commented on the upcoming match with France U-21 in the quarterfinals European Championship 2023.
“I think that the French national team has not changed radically since the qualification. It has always been a good team with strong individual players. At the same time, our team has changed. In my opinion, we have become stronger – we are no longer the team that we were then.
“When I first played against Amin Ghouiri, at that time he was the strongest I ever played against. Now it will be interesting to check how he will play, how I have grown up. So we’ll see.”
“Right Ruslan Petrovich Rotan said that we are no worse. You need to believe in it, mentally prepare for it. We can do this”.
“You need to watch during the game, where I am more involved. When we play for the result, we are definitely behind. When you need to break the course of the game, attack more, then vice versa. But I really like to connect as a defender.”
The duel with the French national team will take place on July 2 in Cluj-Napoca. The beginning is at 22:00 Kyiv time.
The winner of the France-Ukraine pair will play with the Spanish national team in the 1/2 finals. The semi-final match will take place on July 5 in Bucharest.
The 2023 European Championship final 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.
