Dynamo Kiev forward Matviy Ponomarenko made his debut for the first team in the 17th century. More - still for the tenure of Mirchi Lucescu. These days, Matviy wrote his name into the history of Ukrainian football: having scored two goals at Shakhtar’s goal in his youth uniform, Ponomarenko increased his number of goals in the U-19 championships to 46.

About this record, the transition from youth football to adult football, the prospects for the first Dynamo team, the debut under the Kerivnitsev Mirchi Lucescu and the appearance at the warehouse of the youth team of Ukraine U-20 Matviy Ponomarenko Rospov. ua.

\? I wouldn’t mind” – Matvia, 46 goals for the National League U-19. This is a national record! What does the new record holder feel

– There are no special distinctions. It’s just amazing that it’s such a beast. Ale, whole cob, whole U-19. If you grow up like this, it doesn’t mean anything in particular, because all the achievements of the junior level need to be confirmed by clear play and results at the adult level. If there are already such results, then we can talk about any successes and profits. Let's stand now, just the cob of my path. Of course, it’s good that we go out and score and so on. It is necessary to convey the uniqueness of such results to adult football players..

– I’m following you literally on the heels of the match against Shakhtar in the U-19 championship, which ended with you defeating the draw 3:2, and you scored two goals, which is a good showing. How would you rate your performance in this match

- Of course, if you score two goals, then it’s a good show. So, as an attacker, I have spent my work. I'm really pleased that I was able to help the team get through. This means that the weather was important, the lawn was not very good. Regardless of what we did, we prevailed, so we can be satisfied with our performance in this match.

– The great goal at Shakhtar’s goal is based on the laws of physics. How it happened?

– If you marvel at it from both sides, the goal is incredibly beautiful. If we try to give an explanation to this, then as my mother wrote to me, God will help us. The sense is that the ball at the goal was actually blown away by the wind. Apparently, if there were no such weather minds and wind, then this ball might not have happened. Alas, what happened and for the sake of this wonderful goal we won today.

– Many people talked a lot about Vladislav Vanat, as about the greatest scorer of the U-19 championship. Infection in the epicenter respect yourself. If your career is going to be like that, you will be happy?

- Of course, God willing, it could be even more beautiful. If you objectively admire the speech, then Vanat has a very good career. This bright gravel you can look up to. Vіn already plays in the top championship, one of the world's largest. And he’s already scoring balls there. May God grant that everything works out for him. I wouldn’t mind it if my career developed in a similar direction. And now, I will do even more and do my best to realize my potential.

– And who set your landmark as an attacker You are textured, tight gravel, whichever style suits you best? I think I missed the riddle about Niklas Bendtner in the context of your game, but it’s unlikely that you’re all that similar.

– To be honest, I honestly can’t make such analogies. Previously, when Cristiano Ronaldo was in this position, he himself impressed me the most. And now... Mozhlivo, Goland. Vine miraculously gets into position and scores a lot. From perhaps in me it befits. Let me tell you, if I was looking up to someone directly, copying the style of Gris, then it’s not like that.

“Lucescu was noted less than before at Zorya U-19” – It is symbolic that your debut in the UPL fell in the match against Shakhtar, November 3, 2023. This is the last match of Mirchi Lucescu at Dynamo. Having known that you would enter the field even before the game, it became in the process?

– No, I don’t know what I’ll play in this match. Our team beat Shakhtar in the U-19 championship, but we prevailed and won 2:0. I was already tired after this game, having played 90 minutes. And then they say to me: “You are in the first team’s application for tomorrow’s match.”. I won’t have mercy, perhaps, this will be my first time, if I wasted before the first team’s application..

I was disgusted by the fact that they took me to this match. And then the game developed in such a way that Dynamo was losing and needed to go on the attack. The coaching staff praised the decision to let me onto the field. I am very grateful to Mirchi Lucescu for making his debut in such a match. It’s a pity that we lost, but there is incredible evidence and intense hostility because I made my debut for the main team of Dynamo Kiev on 17 occasions.

- Well, for you, in general, this is not the first proof of having spent time with the first team, even after training with them, really?

– Avzhezh, if I enlisted Zorya U-19 at the winter training camp, not mentioning Lucescu. And if I worked with Zorya, I was additionally asked to train with the first Dynamo team at the training camp.

– How will you remember the ending of the work with Mircea Lucescu?

- Miraculous evidence, really. I was very pleased with the enemies that they marked me and took me to training with the first team from such a young man. Well, you know: I’m lying in my room, I don’t suspect anything, I’m with Zorya with my thoughts, and then they say to me: “Come on, get out, you’ll check with the first team Dynamo.”. I'm in shock. I’m coming, everyone greeted me warmly, they talked to the head coach... I, however, don’t remember what I said, so that I wouldn’t worry and that everything would be fine.

This is a truly great testimony, legendary coach. Once you marvel at the world, you can join the race of top coaches for the number of titles won! There is less evidence and no less strength in the debut under the guidance of Mircea Lucescu herself.. I'm so excited for this.

– May 1, 2024, Roku scored the first goal in the UPL at the Veres gate. To whom did I dedicate the goal

– I haven’t dedicated it to anyone in particular. Then there were crazy emotions, but... It was a lot of work on both sides of my fathers, who always encouraged me, always took me to training and believed in me. If we take it this way, then I dedicate this goal to my family. It’s been a long time since we got to this point, and fortunately, it’s not like that.

“Rik-pitora went to wrestling, but it didn’t suit me any better” – And how did you start playing football Why did it start?

- It seems like it came from early childhood. My mother also told me that at three o’clock I still couldn’t speak after all, because I had problems with my teeth, and in this case I already learned the names of popular football teams. For example, Borussia Dortmund.

- At three o'clock? Well, come on!

- So, daddies, it seems that it happened like that. And then, we took the ball, went into the corridor, and got up at one end of the room, and I at the other. And we steadily passed one to another, so much we played. Dads, it seems that in my childhood I constantly poked the ball. I really wanted to play football. Ale in my place (Mironivka, Obukhivsky district of the Kiev region - approx.. author), even at that hour in such an early age children were not recruited for football. They recommended that I sign up for wrestling right away. There were more different workouts, you have the right to coordinate. Therefore, in a singing manner, the struggle helped me. And also, well, what happened in the wrestling section was the place of football.

– Tse yak?

- Really simple. We had a jog on the street, and at the same time we were encouraged to play and play football. From those hours I especially fell in love with that sport, with which I spent my life. Even here I went to fight, but I didn’t deserve it. And even when I walk to school, here in first grade I walk home with a friend after school, and they say to me: “I signed up for football there, the local team...”. I say: “It’s okay, but where are you going?”? I can with you? After a while, I'm off to get busy. My first coach was Mikhailo Volodimirovich Galich. I deserved everything. Ale about me visits this training without knowing anyone.

- Navit fathers?

- Navit fathers? When I got home, I told him that my emotions were much better because of this training.. I felt happy because I had the opportunity to pursue my passion. The dads really encouraged me and from that hour everything started to spin, I started playing football.

– Cool story. And the friend with whom you like to go to football is still playing? Yak yogo's share is stacked up?

- No, he doesn’t play anymore, his lot turned out differently. We can’t get drunk now. Well, I’m already very old, because at that time he told me that he gave me this idea, encouraged me to go to training and ignited this spark in me.

– And the axis of this evidence, obtained in the wrestling section... It also helps you in football? For example, if your team serves in a big way, you can use a couple of moves to gain the desired position in the penalty area?

- Well, not so literally. If you are wondering at this in terms of coordination or stretching, then this is evidence from the fight that I have already become a winner. We were given a good stretch during wrestling, I could do the splits. Massacres were given to the right: haircuts, somersaults, somersaults, and they gave us a hand. And this all helps in coordination. That's why I'm always fighting for this evidence.

– The eternal problem: the transition from youth football to adult football. The career on this one ended a lot, when we looked at the crazy prospect. What kind of problems do you immediately notice when transitioning from youth football to adults

– It’s really easy to make a smooth transition from youth football to adults. Because there are completely different advantages, there is a completely different attraction, reasonable game. Ale z tsim can be dated gladly, and it’s not for nothing that in Europe people play for the first teams already at 16-17 or 18 years. For example, Lamin Yamal, who demonstrates top ranking among 18 rocks. I appreciate that it’s not as important physically as it is mentally. Because you play with grown-ups and are afraid to show mercy here. For example, it’s wrong to receive the ball here... You immediately begin to think about what your team-mates should say. And this pours a stain on the moral frame. And everything is important in your sense. This requires good practice so that such moments can be calmly accepted and quickly adapted to new realities..

Well, in addition, you feel greater pressure on yourself, since you already have a professional team, and here you will be able to achieve success on a new level. This approach is completely different. As soon as you come, you are ready to give results, because they didn’t mark you for nothing. In fact, you can realize your potential only by creating those in your head. Physics, fluidity, laudable decision on the field - everything is painted with pleasure.

- Before we speak, about the pressure. There are plenty of Dynamo patients who expect that after the exit of Vanat, you will impose competition on Eduardo Guerero. Are you mentally prepared for this It’s just that there were already critical songs when you played with the first team Dynamo, but it didn’t steal your self-confidence?

- No, no, I accept it quite normally. I understand what the coaches want from me, kindness to the club. I respect that everything is within my power and I am ready for anything. Whenever I have a chance, I compete, I fight for the right to become the main attacker. If we are talking about the moral side of one’s diet, then I am ready for this competition.

– Few Dynamo players from the first team to the first team were recruited from other clubs, playing for them on loan. If you don’t have this option, then what will you choose: fight for a place in the main team in Dynamo and beyond, but still practice playing in another club on a rental basis?

– Nowadays I can’t clearly report on this topic. We don’t know how the situation will develop in the future. If you design a production line in May, then it is possible to rent and gain knowledge and gaming practice. And after a short time or a river, having become stronger, they will turn to Dynamo and fight for the place in the base here.

\? This is a circus" How do you evaluate the performance of our team Vona could have advanced further to the 1/8 finals? Moreover, the Spanish team was not the strongest team that could go to this tournament.

- Of course, we could have walked further. We have a wonderful team, great gravtsi. Unfortunately, 1/8 is our end at this tournament. Well, we were not spared, because the key player of our team at this tournament, Gennady Sinchuk, was unable to play in the match with Spain. I respect those who were not allowed to participate in this match, it’s like a circus. Without having done anything criminal, there would be no temptation to skip the game. We found out about it two or two years before the game. Of course, this was a moral problem for the team.

If we analyze the zagalom, then our performance was good, we left the group. No matter what the warehouse of Spain is, but forever the top team with the best football players of the Old World. We all know that the greatest academy in the world is La Masia near Barcelona. It’s melodious, it’s not for nothing that Spain has been elected European champion.

– Chile is a country in the mountains. How did you adapt to the climate there

- Honestly, I thought that in this sense we would be much more comfortable. So we flew to Chile in a week or two, or start the acclimatization process, play a control group. It seemed to everyone that it would be harder for us to pay due to the geographical factor. We arrived, trained, played a game and everything was fine. There was no such thing that rejected the sour as pure as possible. Normal climate. This is not Bolivia, they play at an altitude of 4000 meters above the sea level. The axis there was very difficult for us. And in Chile, or even the Georgian region, we had a normal life and there were no daily climatic problems in the team.

– You scored at the gate against Paraguay. This match can definitely be a plus for both you and the team. And you will be the best at your vykonanny at this tournament?

– I think this will definitely be one of the closest matches our team played at the world championship. Since it was the third game, we had already adapted to the lawn, to the stadiums, having already lost the grip of responsibility for the result, because we knew that we would reach the playoffs. But it’s all the same, it was necessary to gamble and we earned it from our satisfaction. Possibly, that’s how it’s supposed to be. We didn’t let anything happen to Paraguay, and we achieved a positive result in this match.

– Your partner or competitor in attack will be Oleksandr Pishchur. He is 204 centimeters tall. Were there people at the training camps who could have won the fight for the ball against him

- No, there were no such people. There were no giants besides Sashka in our team.

– You already have great success in your football career. 19 have already scored for the first team Dynamo, and scored, and went to the World Youth Championship. And to whom and why do you want to say to these people, “What a! \?

– First of all, to my fathers, who believed in me and gave me this chance. We had singing problems, but they took me to Dynamo for training... We lived not near Kiev, but in Mironivtsi, Kiev region. And 100 kilometers from Kiev. As if it wasn’t there, but in the first place it was me and my career. There are few people who can truly believe in their child and give up everything and invest in their future. I thank you for your encouragement and faith in me. I’m trying to make a contribution and prove that the stinks weren’t created for nothing.

And also, a special note to my first coach. It is these people themselves, the first trainers, who recognize talents. So, I say to the great Galich Mikhail Volodimirovich for believing in me, giving me this chance and giving me the contacts of coaches at Dynamo, so that they took me for a review. Great for all these people!
