Ukrainian boys started the final tournament with a loss to their Serbian counterparts (0:1). Now our boys will try to improve their standing in the game against the Czech Republic.

"In the second half, we had an advantage but were unable to capitalize on those opportunities. However, we still have two more matches; we'll prepare and it's not all lost yet. Our strategy for the tournament? This defeat won't change much. We need to come out and win each game," — believes our team's head coach, Yurii Moroz.
