Semi-defender of Ukraine's youth team Volodymyr Brahtsyo appeared alongside head coach Ruslan Rotan at a press conference ahead of the Euro-2023 (U-21) quarter-final match against France, which will take place on July 2 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania (kick-off at 10:00 PM Kyiv time).

— You have already faced France in the Euro-2023 (U-21) qualification round. How do you feel about a new game? What can we expect from the opponent? Is this going to be a different team?

— We played against the French twice, know their national team well. They also know us very well. But I believe that our team is not the same as it was last year. We have become better players and act more focused. I think everything will work out for us, and we will win.

— Ruslan Rotan said that in the match many things will be decided by micro-duels. Who among the semi-defenders of France's national team can spoil your mood on your position?

— France is a top national team where every player is at a high level. But I am not afraid of anyone, no matter who plays against me. The same goes for our team, which does not fear the opponent either. It doesn't matter who will play against me.
