In the final matches of the qualifying round of Euro 2019, the Ukrainian U-21 team will play against their peers from Scotland and the Netherlands.
"The mood is good, fighting. We hope that luck will be on our side ", - said Golovko.
"Of course, the guys' playing standards are not 100%, because not all the players have a playing practice in their clubs, this does not happen. But both for them and for us the main thing is trust, we together went this way when the children were still 15 years old ".
"Before the game, maybe we are favorites. First of all, because we play at home. But we play against a strong team.. Two football players of the Scotland team represent the Premier League, they play in the main squad.. But only the game will show who is the favorite on the field ".
"We had only two workouts before the game. Understand the state of guys difficult. But they increase competition, come to the team with the desire. There were questions about Rusin. He has back problems; he did not train for four days. We called Gutsulyak, but he has a concussion, and he also will not help us. We have 21 field players. I hope this will be enough to solve the tasks set before us ".
"We have two important fights ahead. We must distribute the forces so that we can win tomorrow, but also leave the forces for the match with the Netherlands, because then there will be a difficult move and a game away. ".
"We are glad that Andrei Lunin joined our team. We discussed this option before the match of the first national team in Italy, and since he arrived, there is a high probability that he will play ".
After eight matches, the Ukrainian U-21 team scored 14 points and is second in the group, six points behind England.. Scots "yellow-blue" ahead due to the difference of goals, and the Netherlands scored two points less.
