"We sought to win, and we worked hard," Shakhtar U14 coach Andrii Zabolotnyi noted, "Our goal was to become number one. Fortunately, we were successful. All the guys did really great. They were very responsible in regard to the tasks we set them, and they did not lack the desire or patience. It is now crucial for the players to understand that winning is the result of a tremendous effort and that a good play and success do not just happen.
The goalkeeper of Shakhtar U14 Mykyta Turbaievskyi also shared his impression from the game:
"The tournament has brought only the most positive emotions. It took us a year to come to this victory and it was not easy. Our goal was to be number one, and that is what we achieved. To be honest, I was a little worried during the penalty shootout, but it is quite common. When the opponents were taking the penalty kicks, I was trying to guess the corner instead of following the ball. And at the vital moment, I did manage to deflect the opponent's shot. I would like to thank the coaching staff for working with me and helping to achieve this result.
Our team's defender Roman Shysh was named the best player of the tournament and Mykyta Turbaievskyi became the best goalkeeper.
