Ukraine's youth team won a victory over Scotland.

"I thought the game would be hard, but I didn’t expect it to be so. The problem is that we had to play from the first minutes, and started somewhere from the 20th. This concerns not only the match with Scotland, since we also opposed Andorra. We do not have much time for fees, but we need to work. It is necessary to make the guys achieve results without spending so much nerves. And, of course, it was not necessary to miss. Here, even to a lesser extent, the question to the defenders, because in that situation the rivals passed through the support zone. This is more a Scottish goal than our mistake ", - Golovko quoted FFU official website.

"Lunin plays as it should be the goalkeeper, who acquired the Real. Today Lunin acted confidently, this confidence was transferred to the defense. On the other hand, there is a decision by the national team’s head coach.. We discussed composition issues with Andrey Nikolaevich two weeks ago.. I count on those guys who can either come or not come. There were questions about Lunin and another football player, whose name I will not give. Andrei played, for which I am grateful to him. Now I wish him and our national team victory. Our other goalkeepers are ready for the next match.. It is also likely that with the “youth team” someone else will go into the ranks of the main team ".

Replacement Lunev? There is such a thing as pedagogical supervision.. I understood that the guy had a trauma, he only comes into play. But in training, he looks more confident than some other players, both in dynamics and in other indicators.. Now I have a pleasant opportunity to choose among football players. I put on Lunev and made a mistake. Replacement is associated with this. I make a decision on the composition, but the entire coaching staff decided that in this position it will be Maxim’s. He knows how to play and will help us in the future.. He did not enter the game, received a yellow card, and therefore had to replace him. I understood that now I gave the player more playing time than he is able to spend. This is the problem of recovery - Maxim is not in good shape.. I hope that in three or four days he will get in shape, and we will prepare for the next match with Holland, which, by the way, also won today ".

"We work with people and build our relationships on trust. If the players meet the requirements of the youth national team of Ukraine, then they play regardless of age. Moreover, Vitaly Mikolenko stands for Dynamo Kyiv, Denis Popov together with him got to the U-19 World Championship. In Finland, they recently played against England, France and other teams.. These guys are the future of Ukrainian football.. Now we must try to go further, but not everything depends on us.. If I put one and not other players, the guys do not ask questions. They respect my choice. Today, these defenders almost confirmed that at this stage they are in the best tone. Moreover, Pavel Lukjanchuk has problems with playing practice, which is why he stayed on the bench, Valery Luchkevich did not get into the application at all. Of course, we took a few risks, but, on the other hand, when should we give the guys a chance? Popov plays in the UEFA Youth League, and Mikolenko enters the field as part of Dynamo.. They correspond to the level of the youth team ".

"Zubkov's double? I myself am in shock, it's incredible. If Sasha once tells you how we communicated with each other, you will be surprised. He had such a problem that he reached a certain level, but he stopped. However, mutual trust is bearing fruit, although I don’t know why he scored. I only helped him, and today he proved a lot. Zubkov looks like this because he is given to play in Mariupol. However, do not think that it will always be so. Today was our day, and Zubkov realized our moments. Not everything worked out for everyone, but it’s a question of wrestling skills, pressure and dynamics ".

“How will the team recover? I think winning is always the best way to recover. The guys will eat, meet with the doctors, sleep, tomorrow we have a day of rest.. Tomorrow, those players who have not entered the field today will play a friendly match with the U-19 team.. They will play two halves of 30 minutes. And the day after tomorrow we will fly to Holland ".
