The head coach of the youth team of Ukraine Unai Melgos commented on the defeat of his team in the starting round of the group stage of Euro-2025 against Denmark (2: 3).

“We held the first half well, the team played cohesive and compact, which was poured into a scored ball. After a break, the Dankees started acting better, but in any case we also had a lot of chances to score. However, we lost a little playing rhythm, lost their initiative and allowed opponents to return.

Unfortunately, we missed very quickly after the account became 2: 1. Here is somewhat lucky our rival, because it was a ricochet. Of course, the final result was disappointed, because we did not deserve defeat.

I don’t think the team has given up. Players, of course, felt fatigue, because it is the end of the season, and we understand it. But they tried to play for victory, and at the end of the match they had the opportunity to compare the score. And the players and I wanted to win this match.

Of course, such a result and such effective game can not be expected. We want our team to score as much as possible, and miss the least. But it happened. We will be disassembled in the following days, “-the UAF press service says.
