U-19: Ukraine's youth team in anticipation of the semifinal match of Euro-2018

Today Alexander Petrakov's team is competing with the Portuguese national team for the right to reach the finals of the European Youth Championships.

Before the start of the European Championship (U-19) in Finland, our team was predicted to fight for third place in the group and try to get a ticket to the World Cup. But Alexander Petrakov's guys started from a place in a career and in the first round beat the group 's favorites - the French (2: 1). After that they were battle with england (1: 1) and pragmatic victory over Turkey (1-0), which led Ukraine to the semifinals of Euro 2018 and the World Cup.
 
Will this stop in blue and yellow? I want to believe that no. Certainly the closest rival, national team of Portugal, - not a gift. Two years ago, the "European Brazilians" won Euro-2017, and now this team is on the path of Ukrainians. Probably everyone considers the Portuguese favorites of the semifinals, but the wards Alexandra Petrakova at the current Euro they show that they do not care about the names and titles of rivals, breaking them at the expense of game discipline, full dedication and quality game.
