According to the mentor, the opponent correctly tasked the game of Ukrainians, imposing them a script, to which they were not completely ready – especially in the first half.
“We expected more moments and blows. Panama forced us to play through the left flank, and in the second half she also stopped the game, knocking down a pace,” Mikhailenko said.
Nevertheless, the coach noted that the team was able not to give the opponent to create a lot of chances, but emphasized that the young men lacked determination in the final third of the field.
U-20 Ukraine has four points after two rounds. In the next match, “blue and yellow” will play with Gana.
