The head coach of the Slovak national team, Francesco Calderoni, commented on today's match in the second round group stage of Euro-2024 against Ukraine, where our team secured a narrow victory with a score of 2:1.

"This was a difficult match. I am satisfied with some moments and less so with others. I am pleased with the team. I cannot blame them. Our opponents have excellent qualities, Ukraine is ranked 20 places higher than us in the FIFA ranking."

Today we played against a very strong opponent. I am proud of my boys. We gave our opponent the last 30 minutes of the match, during which they punished us.

We had the opportunity to secure a place in the knockout stage right now, but we faced a team that needed this victory to stay in the competition," — quotes Calderoni's website UEFA.
