Artem Bondarenko: "It will be harder to play France in the 1/4 finals"

Ukraine's youth national team midfielder Artem Bondarenko shared his expectations for the match against France and the 1/4 finals of Euro 2023.

"First of all, Ruslan Rotan congratulated us on leaving the group. His main message was that we are able to play good football with a good result. The draw with Spain gives us such confidence, we could have even won. This is a good result of our work.

Now we'll have a little rest and reboot. The quarter-finals are like a completely different tournament, a knockout game, more psychological pressure. I think it will be more difficult," Bondarenko said.
