The head coach of the youth national team of Ukraine (U-18) Oleh Kuznetsov commented on the game of his wards in a friendly match against the national team of Denmark, which ended with the victory of the blue-yellows - 2:1.

- We are satisfied with the result of the match against the Danish national team. In my opinion, we showed a good game, but only in fragments. There are reasons for this, because we last met in this composition in March. It was hard to remember what we had played before.

But there are no claims against the players. After all, in the first minutes of the game, it was even more difficult for the reason that we spent almost a whole day in Spain. But in general we are all satisfied.

- Did the opponent surprise the Ukrainians with something?

- No, we knew his capabilities. The players were not shown the video, but I personally watched the Danes, studied the opponent. He then told the team about the team's strengths and weaknesses. We used some of this in this game.
