Ukraine's youth national team midfielder Heorhii Sudakov commented on the draw with the Spaniards at Euro 2023.
Georgy Sudakov (photo: gettyimages.com)- The game was in our favour, and we had the advantage in the scoreline. Of course, it is very difficult when you concede such a goal in the last minute - almost out of nothing. When you think you have already won and are in control of the game... If we had known before the match that we would play Spain 2-2, it would have been a good score for us, but after such a game... Everyone is upset.
We once played France in the qualifiers in a group, drew 3-3 and were also upset. Now we are playing Spain 2-2 and we are also upset. This shows our level. When we are already playing with such giants, the top teams in the world, deserve to win, end up in a draw and are upset... Probably, this shows, first of all, the growth of our level. That's all.
With every game we grow as footballers at this Euro, everyone gains confidence and good qualities, so I hope that the quarter-finals will be successful for us. After all, we saw how we can play, and, first of all, we have to build on our game. Not to adapt to the football of any national team, but to play our own, to show it. After all, why do we come to such tournaments if you just fight back and don't play? Yes, we all understand that there is a strategy and tactics, and all the teams are strong. But, first and foremost, you have to work with the ball and enjoy football," said Sudakov.
