Ruslan Rotan: Ukraine is aware of the Spanish team strength

The head coach of the Ukrainian U-21 team Ruslan Rotan spoke at a press conference on the eve of the semi-final match of Euro 2023 (U-21) against Spain.

- The guys are motivated, we move step by step, and remember that the next one is the most difficult. We understand the strength of the Spanish national team - it is a very powerful team. We met in the group, but there is another game ahead. Spain at the youth level has beaten everyone, won all the tournaments. We know and remember this well, we are aware of the strength of this opponent.

We made an analysis based on the first game against Spain. I think that Spain has studied us well, just as we have studied our opponent. Tomorrow there will be a game that will give one of the teams a chance to advance into the final. Therefore, it will be a completely different match, everything will be decided on the pitch. I am sure that both teams will give 100 percent to win.
