— What are your impressions from the draw? Are you satisfied with the group?
— In such cases, satisfaction is usually not an issue. All teams are very even and strong, but it all depends on the state of preparation and generation. Overall, the group looks as balanced as possible.

— Can it be said that there is no clear favorite in our group?
— There are favorites. First and foremost, it's Italy — a traditionally strong team at this level. Also, Serbia should be noted: the current generation is considered one of the strongest they have had in recent years. Many players cost significant amounts on the transfer market and have serious playing experience at the highest level, especially in European clubs. We cannot boast about that, so it's worth considering Italy and Serbia as favorites.

— Do you have any experience meeting these opponents at youth level?
— Yes, of course. We already played against Serbia in the final part of the UEFA U-17 Championship on Cyprus. It was a match-opening game, and Ukraine conceded 1:2. Representatives of this team, by the way, are the backbone of the Partizan squad that went through Alexander Cup in European cups.

— Can it be said that there is extra motivation to take revenge now?
— Unquestionably.
