The Ukrainian national team U-19 is preparing for Euro 2026.
Head coach of the Ukrainian national team U-19 Dmytro Mikhailenko commented on the upcoming preparations before Euro 2026, which Poland will have.
" The choice was not easy, because even the Gravians were amazed, they were very confused. We needed to select two soldiers for the position. Therefore, I think that all those graves that are on the list are the most powerful graves in Ukraine.
A group of superniks at the tournament? Meni appears, even the same group, accepted on the paper. There are no obvious outsiders. Sure, show me. Everything has already fallen into the camp of the Gravians, first for everything physical, so it’s time for the holiday and a lot of Gravians have arrived, seemingly mentally, from the point of departure. We prepared them, but still there was no consistent training form.
That’s why there are a lot of factors here, and the first of them is how physically the team will be prepared. We have already faced this problem for two reasons in Northern Ireland, and it was important, especially against Norway - a team that was in the season, on the move. And it was very important for us not only with them, but also with the Latvians. Therefore, I think that in ten days from Poland we can earn everything so that the team physically reaches the optimal level.
If you don’t play with such a demanding schedule, then it’s important that no one is ready for this. You need to adapt, you need to adapt to this. There, first of all the vibration is wasted, the sharpness is wasted. If you lose two on the third day, being unadapted, it will be important. Ale, I think that as the tournament progresses, the team will gain shape, as there were two reasons for that. On the other hand, there is a rotation of players, you can share the importance, think about how to deal with such situations and not worry about what we play often.
Opportunity to spend directly on the World Championship? It seems to me that this is an incentive and motivation. The price is not at all a squeeze for any nobleman of high rank. Such a challenge is a thrill, a thrill, an opportunity to show yourself and prove yourself, an opportunity to spend on an even cooler tournament, a lower European Championship. Therefore, this is only a good motivation for all drivers and coaches.
This evening we will be in Poland. Tomorrow training begins, with a direct focus on improving physical readiness. The boys have already worked with our physical training coach. Some are two taller, some are smaller, because there are different dates for the end of the season: some have ended at the kvitna, some at the grass, the days are still in the drawing of worms. Apparently, everyone has a different recovery period and a different state of readiness.
Therefore, the task for ten days is to bring everyone to approximately the same level of physical readiness. In another way, we will carefully consider mutual relations, which is what the new Vikonavians. We also plan to play two friendly games in order to interact with different game scenarios. Our goal will be ten training sessions and at least two gris,” the club’s press service quotes Mikhailenko as saying..
Guess what, Ukraine U-19 at Euro 2026 will play against Croatia (29 matches), Serbia (2 matches) and Italy (5 matches).
