The head coach of the Ukrainian national team U-20 Dmytro Mikhailenko commented on the performance of the Blues at the last world championship against Chile.
" First, for which we have the utmost respect, this is the bitterness of the gris, but it was nasty. I had a good result at the group stage. In this part of the tournament, only two teams performed better. Unfortunately, fate worked out so that in the 1/8th we had to team up with Spain - the best team in Europe and one of the worst in the world. But let me say it again, I told my students that they were determined not just to play, but to show local football at this tournament..
Of course, it was easier to fight against Spain. It is very important to resist the Spaniards, treating the individual mastery of the Viconavians. Prote we wanted to create more incompetence for our opponent.. In my opinion, our boys were in a hurry and there was noticeable nervousness. Up to the speed of quickness, the robots with the ball adapted by 15 minutes and, in principle, did not allow the opponent to create many scoring chances, at least after the end of the match, if there was an adventure on our side.
48 hits, and only 13 of them in the flat? The first three games, in the group round, we hit flat on a normal level. In the rest of the match against Spain, it was clear that out of nine shots only one was scored, and here the statistics were compiled. Although these fights are not really a great indicator for statistics. In the match with Spain, I attribute such a display to the praises of the Gravians.
All fights from ring to ring were conducted by Krapivtsov, Melnichenko and Gusev? On the right, it’s not that there were no claims before them, although they played on a high level. It’s just that the application for the world championship consists of 18 players, and not all positions were replaced. They could be re-read, but they were key Vikonavians in their places.
Bet on Pishchur, not Ponomarenok? The retail store was located at the physical center. Squeak through those that in the spring of May are a little more than a gaming hour, in our opinion, having experienced the shortest gaming tone. Ale we were ahead of both, that the boys will exchange each other through those who play for two days on the third, and it’s not so easy to fall in love. And here comes the problem of the team: not so many Vikonavians lack stable gaming practice.
Throughout this tournament, there was a wonderful atmosphere in the team. Although I was alive for a little while, not everyone knew the same person before. And this thickening was transferred to the field. Kozhen gravec operating at maximum. This team's potential would be much greater than in the round after we finished winning.
I know again, if the fate before us had been nice, we could have gone all the way to the finals.
I deleted information about Sinchuk a year before installation on the cargo with Spain. My head was occupied by completely different right, lower nutritional. Already in Ukraine, in a calm situation, we will figure out what happened,” the UAF press service quotes Mikhailenko as saying..
Guess what, the Blues finished the group stage, after which they lost to Spain (0:1) in the 1/8 finals of the tournament.
