Kermanich of the Ukrainian national team gave his comment after the qualifying tournament.
The head coach of the Ukrainian U-19 national team, Dmytro Mikhailenko, has added his qualifications for the 2025 European Championship, the official website of the UAF reports..
The 51-year specialist's subsidiaries were in the group with Kazakhstan, Slovenia and the Netherlands. Having not achieved the desired score, the “Blues” finished fourth in the tournament table for the quartet, which automatically eliminated them from among the contenders for a ticket to the elite round.
Mikhailenko asked why it happened so that the future would not be lost in such a situation.
" A deep analysis is ahead, and now I want to focus on the upcoming moments: I need to analyze how I, as a coach, did everything correctly when forming a team, and how all the best football players got on board. Possibly, I have passed someone, I want an hour, and above all the graves we looked at each other.
We also have an extremely serious problem, that we have a low number of U-19 teams, where most of our boys play. The same fervor that exists in the international arena is not suitable for us, everything is much better there. It is necessary to understand how our football players progress. Who has been playing for the U-19 teams for the third season now?. I don’t think that in Europe Vikonians play for youth teams for so long. Call the river or two - and you'll move on to the next level. And as soon as there is progress, as soon as the footballer stands up to older opponents, then for three years he himself plays against the younger boys, who grows up, on which he will come to his senses, either he gets stuck, or he critically responds. The Vikonians, who already play in adult football, look superior to those who, as before, play in youth clubs.
Another point that I would like to appreciate is personnel problems. Literally on the last day before leaving for the Netherlands, changes were made to the list of graves, Bogdan Redushko and Bogdan Budko became aware of some injuries. The same problems were faced by Gennady Senchuk, but insofar as it is possible to prepare for another game.
And I can’t help but note the fact that about half of us are made up of Dynamo and Shakhtar players. For them, the match against Kazakhstan (the first in the tournament) became the sixth game, as they played in two days in the third or three in the fourth, and all without difficult travel. That's why the freshness here is gone.
I respect that these reasons have become the main ones. Which of them is the greater world, which is the lesser - it will become clear, again, after the lost analysis. I need to understand that such problems are unique to us in the future.
Low performance? I think this is due to these very reasons that I mentioned above. Superniks rhubarb had a strong support, they acted at a high pace, but it remains in the dust of Ukraine throughout this season. And such concepts as games under pressure, games of high tension. And whoever gives you joy is most often seen in the sub-bag result.
The people who disappointed us so much? I’ll say this: there were football players who played below their capabilities. There were those who, as it seems to me, were known to be under the responsibility of the tractor. Ale boules and those who, in a difficult situation, opened up and showed themselves on the good side. On whom I have pressed a vice.
The superniks were celebrating? All opponents were well organized. Possibly, the Netherlands expressed their intensity. They have the right to adapt to any other situation, it is good to come out of defense. The team has high tactical literacy. All our football players talked about this after the game. It should also be noted that all Dutch athletes play adult football.
The pouch will come out? Impeccable, є great disappointment. I didn't think so. We trained the boys for a completely different result, but reality is in vain. As a coach, I respect that our players need to set serious goals and give them serious encouragement. Since there is talent, and the same is true among our rich citizens, it is necessary to leave the comfort zone. If in the national championship you win every other time with a difference of five balls, and if after playing you still have 50% battery charge left, then you can think about how to increase?
It is necessary for the coach, I’m not talking specifically about himself, to have a group of players who perform on a level that can be compared with the level of international champions. As practice shows, in such tournaments, such as, for example, Euro qualification, what comes to the fore is not mastery, but constant struggle and patience,” said the Kermanic youth team of Ukraine.
Guess what, Euro 2025 (U-19) is taking place in Chernina in Romania.
