Ukraine youth national team midfielder Artem Bondarenko commented on the victory over France (3-1) in the quarter-final of Euro U-21.
"Honestly, there are no words, no emotions. Nothing. There is a feeling of incredible happiness, incredible pride for the team and the country. We fought today as a team, maybe not everything worked out, but that's football. We have survived and everything is great.
A ticket to the Olympics for Ukraine is a great achievement. We have made it to the Olympics for the first time in history. Such a task was set, we are very happy to qualify, but this is not our limit. We plan to go further, from match to match.
Ruslan Petrovych wanted to make us aware that the wolf is not as fearsome as he is painted. But I want to say that in football it is not a team of stars that matters, but a team of stars. We managed to do it today", - Bondarenko said on the air of Suspilnoye.
