The head coach of the Ukrainian national team, Andrei Shevchenko, will give young footballers the opportunity to prove themselves in matches against Slovakia (League of Nations, November 16) and Turkey (friendly, 20th).

"Of course, these two matches are very important. We specifically selected the line-up, focused on young football players.. Many of them were called to the national team, we see their perspective.. Someone got an advance.

Many have proven themselves in the national championship. When else will they be given the chance to show themselves. The year is ending, tournament problems we have already decided.

We take certain risks, giving young people a chance, because they have no experience playing at this level.. We will give the opportunity to maximize our talent in these games, "- said the mentor at a press conference.

The debutants Andrey Boriachuk (“Mariupol”), Marjan Swede (“Karpaty”) and Vitaly Mikolenko (“Dynamo”) are called to the national team..

Recall, the Ukrainian team won the League of Nations group ahead of time and in the next draw will play in the elite division.
