"We want to end the tournament with a victory, win the cup"

"I congratulate all the members of the team - the players and the coaching staff - on the victory. Each person has its own share in this victory. We work together to succeed. It was not an easy game. It was not an easy victory. It is a good result to defeat the Ukrainian national team at their home country. It should be noted that today our opponent's team included several players who participated in the World Cup within the Ukrainian U-19 national team.

We played very well in the first half. The overall control of the ball was on our side. The footballers performed their given tasks. In the first 20-25 minutes, the control of the game was completely in our hands. During that time we also managed to score goals and created many dangerous episodes. In addition to playing well in attack, we did not forget about defense. We knew that the Ukrainian team would try to create sharp attacks. Because this team is able to build a good attack. However, our careful play on the defensive line neutralized the opponent's attacks. In the second half, the scenario of the game changed a bit at our request. We made changes in our game plan. As I mentioned, we knew that the Ukrainian national team would attack more because we were ahead in the score. It happened, but we managed to keep the score until the end of the game. No matter how important the victory was for us, we used the services of almost all the players in the squad today. We have another game ahead. Tomorrow we will meet with the national team of Uzbekistan. Compared to us, the Uzbek team will be more cheerful. Because they did not play today, they only trained before the game. Of course, all these factors will lead us to make some changes in the game plan. We will give a chance to players who played less against the Ukrainian national team. Regardless of the strength of the opponent, we have one goal: to develop from game to game. Of course, we intend to do this thanks to a smart game. Although it is difficult to play for two days in a row, we want to finish the tournament with a victory and win the trophy.”
