The head coach of the Ukrainian U-21 team Ruslan Rotan spoke at a press conference before the match against the Spanish.

- Tomorrow's match will be a little different. The Spaniards and us will make a small rotation. What to expect? We know each other well. The Spaniards play structural and aggressive football, they have excellent control of the ball in the last third - we understand this very well. They have good performers in their lineup. Even after the draw, I said that Spain is the favorite of our group, it is a strong team with strong performers. I think tomorrow's match will be physically exhausting for us.

We must understand that the Spaniards will have more control of the ball. But we are preparing for this, we should not deviate from our structure, but should impose our game on the opponent due to tougher actions in the center of the field and control. Adaptation to the heat and the nature of the team will also play an important role.

We must understand that the match against Spain is decisive for our group. It is important for both teams. On the other hand, there is no psychological pressure to reach the quarterfinals. This is a very good way to show your qualities, to be a professional for each player, to go to the match not just because you need to play.

We have to be prepared mentally and physically. Tomorrow we will not be pressured by the result, we need to show our game against a very strong opponent. You should play not for the result, but for the fans.
