The head coach of the youth team of Ukraine does not forget about the ongoing war in the country.
Ruslan Rotan paid tribute to the defenders of Ukraine from the onslaught of Kremlin troops. After defeating Slovakia and reaching the finals of Euro 2023, the head coach of the youth team said that the team assigned this result to the ZSU soldiers.
“The weather affected the game, especially ours. We always rely on ball control, so we need good conditions on the field, but today it was not the best quality. The ball bounced and the field was sticky. Such grass stopped us holding the ball from the first minutes.
But we rebuilt during the match. The character of the boys and their desire to win and reach the Euro should be noted. This is our main asset.
Thanks to the opponent, he also looks decent. Slovakia also deserved to reach the final stage of the tournament, but the strongest always wins. Therefore, I congratulate us, I congratulate Ukraine. We would like to dedicate this victory to our soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We told the boys about it in the pre-match installation, they understood everything,” said Rotan in an interview with Suspilna.
Recall that the youth team of Ukraine U-21 defeated peers from Slovakia and reached the European Championship 2023, where tickets to the Olympic Games 2024 will be played.
