Sylvain Ripaul: "I have to congratulate the Ukrainians, but we are terribly disappointed.

Sylvain Ripoll, head coach of the French national youth team, commented on the result of the match (1:3) against the Ukrainian national team in the quarterfinal of Euro-2023 U-21.

- It is a huge disappointment, we wanted to pass on. We faced a very good team from Ukraine. I have to congratulate them, but we are terribly disappointed. All the ways we found to put them off balance in the first half - with a lot of spontaneity, movement, one-touch play - we failed to do in the second half and it was much easier for the Ukrainians than in the first half," said Ripol.
