Former Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Igor Jovicevic shared his expectations for the match between Ukraine U-21 and Spain U-21 at the UEFA Euro 2023 Youth Championship.
- "It is no coincidence that 100 million was paid for Mudryk, but we must remember that he signed a contract for eight years. I am sure he will show everything he is capable of. Sudakov is a mega talent. Bondarenko, with his pauses in the game when he doesn't seem explosive, is a golden brain. It's incredible how they dominate matches. With Mudryk, you can beat Spain, who will have the ball, and on the counter-attack, the Ukrainians can be deadly.
We started from scratch, and now we are looking at where we are. It's incredible to be in the semi-finals. These players have great prospects for further progress, this is the generation that made a big leap with Shakhtar. We have made people talk about us in these inhuman conditions," the Football 2.0 Telegram channel quoted Jovicevic as saying.
