Vasily Kardash: "We plan to watch about 20 matches in Turkey"

The coaches of the Ukrainian national team in Turkey are closely watching the candidates for the U-21 team.

During the winter, several dozen teams are preparing to resume the season in Turkey. Among them are Ukrainian clubs. This is a good opportunity for scouts and national team coaches to follow the players, as official matches are not far off. Now the coaches of the youth national team of Ukraine are in Turkey. Oleksandr Melashchenko and Vasyl Kardash travel all along the coast to review candidates for the team, which in the fall starts in the Euro-2021 (U-21) qualifying tournament.

- Most of the teams of the Ukrainian Premier League work in Turkey, - said Vasyl Kardash in a comment to the official website of the FFU, - so we try to closely monitor them and select candidates for the youth team. The team is now being formed.

- How many players are in your field of vision?

- The list is long, because we analyze not only the representatives of the elite division, but also the guys whose teams are applying to enter the Premier League. I will not name the exact number of artists now, as this figure changes frequently.

We communicate with team mentors who provide information about players we are interested in. So far, we analyze it, and after the meeting we will meet with all the coaching staff and summarize the work.

In addition, we have now decided not to disturb the boys of 1999, who in May, under the leadership of Alexander Petrakov will perform at the U-20 World Cup.

- How many matches in Turkey with the participation of Ukrainian teams do you plan to attend?

- Hard to say. We will try to do it as much as possible. I think at least 20 fights. Much depends on the weather, which still leaves much to be desired. Due to this, some teams change their sparring schedule.

- When will the next gathering of "youth" take place?

- In the second half of March. The team will take part in an international tournament in Turkey. The team will play three matches in these competitions. Negotiations are also underway to organize another friendly match during this time.
