Oleg Kuznetsov spoke about the team’s preparation for the qualifying round of Euro 2024.

Head coach of the Ukrainian national team Oleg Kuznetsov commented on the preparation of his U-19 team before the qualifying matches for Euro 2024.

“As many new players were requested from Pivdeniya Korea at the recent gathering, the emphasis was immediately placed on ensuring that football players had game practice.

We have followed Timur Tuterov for a long time, since he still stood for Kolos. He is a staunch supporter of Sunderland's youth team. Good news about Oleksandr Pishchur, a tall attacker from the Puskas Academy. Bogdan Manuylov shows himself badly in Spain. I hope these guys will help us.

We left Kiev on the 11th. We arrived in Malta on the 12th in the evening. We will essentially have two full-time working days.

We collected the most information on the Malta national team, which is what we are facing with the rulers in the first round. And in Kosovo and Slovakia we marveled at the tournament itself.

Zbirna of Ukraine - the group's favorite? I wouldn't be so categorical. The Maltese are rulers, so the stinks will be motivated. From Kosovo we met and moved again, but it was a very difficult fight for Ukraine. And Slovakia always has small promising young.

That's why I wouldn't see how I'm going to collect. All competitors face approximately the same chances of success.

Our team has no plans other than making it to the elit round of the European Championship,” the UAF press service quotes Kuznetsov as saying..

Ukraine will play its first match against Malta - the game will be on the 15th of November at 12:00 Kyiv time. Then there will be matches against Kosovo (18 leaves) and Slovakia (21 leaves).
