Valery Palamarchuk: "Girls in the tournament did not jump over the head in Denmark"

The girls' national team of Ukraine WU-17 in terms of rating was significantly inferior to rivals in the qualifying round of the European Championship - the Danes and the Czechs. So. at a tournament in Denmark No wonder, our compatriots finished third, beating only the outsiders, peers from the Faroe Islands, and did not make it to the elite round.

- I will not hide, we were serious about giving a fight to the Czech national team in the fight for second place, as the hosts significantly outperformed everyone in the class, - says the head coach of the girls' national team of Ukraine Valery Palamarchuk. - But, apparently, it is also my fault that the match with the Czechs did not go as we would have liked. Most likely, we had to play on defense and count on quick counterattacks, because we did not win any dividends in the positional offensive.

- Perhaps some obstacles in the preparatory period had a negative effect on the performance of your wards?

- It is impossible to say so, because thanks to the FFU leadership we played sparring matches with the national teams of Azerbaijan and Georgia, took part in the Development Tournament under the auspices of UEFA in Finland. So, there was an opportunity to select all the strongest players of this age group, but, unfortunately, they did not jump above their heads.

- Who was the backbone of the national team, and in what components our girls were significantly inferior to rivals?

- Most of the players were "Family-Lyceum" from Kostopol, but I would not call this team the base. Five clubs were represented approximately equally in the starting lineup. As for the vulnerabilities, we lacked the ability to move quickly from defense to offensive. Perhaps this is a consequence of the desire to be safe and avoid elementary mistakes that would lead to missed balls.

- And what's next?

- Since half of the players registered for the tournament in Denmark were born in 2003, they will be able to compete in the next qualifying round of the European Championship among 17-year-olds. I hope that the accumulated international experience will be useful to them and will help them to perform more successfully in the future.
