The head coach of the youth U-19 national team of Ukraine Vitaliy Odegov praised the strength of the rivals.

As for the Belgian national team, in the last selection of the European Championship we had a decisive meeting with it, and that Belgian team was quite good. It is difficult to judge which Belgian national team is now, because there is little information about it at the moment. As for the third team, it will be the winner of Group A of the previous round. Let's see who wins there. In general, I believe that everything is in our hands, and we can reach the Euros, ”the coach quotes the Futsal Association of Ukraine press-service reports..
