The head coach of Ukraine's U-20 national team, Dmytro Mykhaylenko, commented on his team's draw in the second match of the 2025 World Cup — against Panama (1:1).
"Panama adjusted their tactics and started to push us towards our left flank. In the first half, we were not ready for this; in the second half, we still had problems creating opportunities. We rushed a bit, got nervous. On one hand, we didn't give them anything to work with, but on the other — we expected much more chances and shots from ourselves. The Panamanians wasted time frequently by falling to the ground and resting. There was no tempo, yet we still should have created more opportunities, applied pressure, and been more aggressive in the penalty area," — quotes Dmytro Mykhaylenko "Sobesednik Sport."
