Santi Dénia is pleased with his team’s handling of the ball
Head coach Spain U-21 Santi Dénia was satisfied with the performance of his team in the match against Ukraine (5:1) in the semi-finals European Youth Championship 2023.
“This team believes in our idea of the game – to have the ball, to play the ball from behind, to accelerate it, to work on each other, to develop an attack from deep. We keep getting stronger and we will have to improve again to win the title.”
“In the first half, we had problems when the Ukrainians got around Victor Gomez and Rodri. The interaction between Sergio and Miranda is good, and it was not easy to break this couple, but the game required a change. During the missed goal, our right-back had no help, and Mudrik is a player who decides episodes in his favor. The goal was scored due to the fact that help did not arrive, and Mudrik had more speed.
The Spanish national team reached the final of Euro 2023, in which they will play against the team of England. The main match of the tournament will take place on July 8 at 19:00 Kyiv time.
Recall that thanks to reaching the semi-finals of the European Youth Championship, the football team of Ukraine will play at the Olympics for the first time in history.
