Sergiy Popov: “The lack of international experience in our guys was signaled”

U-15 Ukrainian national team under the leadership of Sergey Popov played two friendly matches with peers from the Czech Republic.

Last week the training camp of the youngest youth national team of Ukraine (football players not older than 2003) ended. Serhiy Popov drove this team to friendly matches in the Czech Republic, who summed up the results of the work in a comment to the FFU official website.

- This is not the first time we practice this, - said Serhiy Oleksandrovych. - Oleksandr Petrakov was preparing with the national team born in 1999 for the Valery Lobanovsky Memorial, so he asked me to work on this meeting with the team born in 2003.

In the first friendly match with the Czech national team we draw (1: 1), and in the other lost (0: 2). The result was not put to the fore because it was the first international gathering for our football players, who were significantly worried. For example, our opponent has already played six similar matches.

Thus the first match in our performance was not bad, the hosts only under the veil of the meeting evened the score. In the second match was the rotation of the lineup. Missing the goal, the team tried to rectify the situation, attacked, did not score many goals, but, as often happens in such cases, missed the counterattack.

Well, a negative result is also a result. There are promising guys in this team, but there is still a lot of work to be done. In general, the training camp was informative, and I will tell everything you need to Oleksandr Petrakov when I meet him after Valery Lobanovsky's tournament.
