The head coach of the Croatian U-21 national team, Igor Bischan, commented on the results of the draw for the final part of the European Championship 2023 among youth teams. The Croats will face the Ukrainian national team.
“We can be satisfied with the lot. We got Romania, Ukraine and Spain. Of course, the Spaniards stand out and are the favorites of the group, but Romania and Ukraine are definitely not stronger than us. Although it will be very difficult to play against Romania, because the host always has a lot of public support.
Be that as it may, the results of the draw have strengthened our optimism for reaching the quarterfinals. There is still a lot of time left to prepare for Euro 2023. The main thing is to bring the team to the tournament in the best shape. Then we will be competitive. In general, we believe in our guys and believe that we can get out of the group,” said Igor Bischan.
