The youth team of Ukraine U-18 completed the regular collection, which was held in Spain. The wards of Oleg Kuznetsov played two control matches with Denmark - both ended in a victory for the Ukrainians (2: 1 and 1: 0).

"If the first fight was going on, it can be said, according to the scenario of the Ukrainian national team, in the second we looked weak. They lost almost the entire fight, rebounds, and managed to score the winning goal due to individual skill ", - quotes Kuznetsov FFU official website.

“Was there an optimal composition?” Almost yes. It was possible to use Mikhail Mudrik, but he was recently in the national team of Sergei Popov (U-19), so the miner did not release him. Club-like problems were with Ivan Zhelyzko, so we did not call him, Daniel Hondak is injured now ".

"The backbone of this team has been working for a long time. For the guys it was not difficult for a few days to recall previous developments. Moreover, we practically do not change tactics ".

“We traveled to the gathering place for almost 24 hours, so there was no need to talk about freshness in the first game, and before the second fight, due to the deterioration of weather conditions and the lack of spare fields, we had to cancel the pre-game practice”.

"It was difficult with the Danes.

They have a lot of tall and overall performers, so the opponent fought well, especially on the second floor. You had to break yourself and at some point play through "I can't". And the guys did a great job.. Although, I repeat, in the second match with the Danes I have more questions for the wards ".

“When is the next stage of preparation? The coaching meeting hasn’t been gathered yet, so there’s so little concrete. But the nearest gathering may take place in March.. In Armenia, we want to hold two friendly matches with the local team ".
