The former head coach of Kyiv Dynamo and the Ukraine national football team Yozhef Sabo commented on the victory of the Ukraine national youth team over France (3:1) in the quarterfinal of Euro 2023 (U-21) and its reaching the semifinal of the tournament.
"Congratulations to our team with a magnificent victory over one of the main favorites of this European Championship. I think our team has won first of all thanks to their disciplined team play. As they say, order beats skill.
Secondly, all players without exception acted with full commitment from the starting whistle to the final one. I won't single anyone out, as the goals scored were the result of the whole team's effort.
The team looked very decent in all positions. Of course, there were some mistakes, but, as they say, you can't judge the winners. Especially against the backdrop of the French national team, whose players are top class, skilled, playing for top clubs.
Ruslan Rotanu and his staff managed to build a team worthy of playing in the semi-finals and qualify further, but let's not rush to judgment, we wish our team success", said Sabo.
