In the youth team of Ukraine, as the leaves fall, we take part in the qualifying round of Euro 2025 (U-19), having completed the training camp, which took place in Switzerland. There, the blue-greens had two sparring matches with male yearlings (2:2 and 1:2). Head coach of the team Dmitro Mikhailenko shared his thoughts about the selection.

" During matches with a strong opponent, we looked at all the players we asked for. In these fights we have improved our understanding, identified shortcomings, and explained what positions we need to force before the qualifying round of the European Championship. Ale zagalom I lost the satisfied position of the lads to work and play in two matches.

All football players adopted approximately the same playing practice. I can’t say which game suited me better, but our team has little good chance of scoring if we have control of the ball. If there are any problems, there are no standard provisions for our gates, but at transitional moments, otherwise everything can be corrected. Before us we marveled at the potential of our citizens.

During the harvest we will have some minor changes at the warehouse. As football players resume after injuries, we call them before the national team.

There are also a number of candidates that I would like to admire. The warehouse that will go to Euro qualification has already been allocated 75-80,” said Mikhailenko.

Apparently, this team is preparing to qualify for Euro 2025 (U-19). Following the results of the drawing of the first stage, Zmagan won in Group 1 with the Netherlands, Slovenia and Kazakhstan. The mini-tournament is taking place in the Netherlands, and the matches will take place on the 13th, 16th and 19th of November.
