Arseniy Batagov, the defender of Luhansk "Zora" and the youth national team of Ukraine, told Team 1 about how relatives motivated the "youth" players.
Arseniy Batagov (in the center)— Our loved ones have always been close to us. Before the match with North Macedonia, the coaches prepared a real surprise for us: at the setup before leaving for the game, they showed a motivational video from our parents, brothers, and sisters. Among everyone, my older brother addressed us, and my father summed up the mood of all the young people. "Boys, beat them all," he said. "Let the katsaps, when they learn about your success, sigh with envy," said Arseny.
