Head coach of the U-15 U-XNUMX national team Serhiy Nagornyak spoke about the work of the team.

Today the youth team of Ukraine (players not older than 2004) goes to Armenia for UEFA Development Tournament. And the day before, the head coach of the blue and yellow Sergei Nagornyak answered questions from the official website of the FFU.

- Sergey Nikolaevich, for this national team it will be the second gathering in history. How many candidates have you already reviewed?

- To be honest, not so many, about 50 players. Many games were postponed when Dynamo and Shakhtar went to international tournaments. The final part of the DUFL championship will start soon, here we will try to cover all the matches to have a complete picture.

- Do you follow Ukrainian performers abroad?

- We have several surnames, but so far the greatest concentration is on football players from Ukrainian clubs.

- We managed to collect this fee summon all the strongest?

- No. But there are different reasons for this. Now I do not see a problem in this, because the selection is ongoing, and now we have the opportunity to see in the case of other candidates.

- Did you study your rivals for the tournament in Armenia?

- We have full layouts for the national teams of Cyprus, Belarus and Armenia. It's just that we have almost no time for training. We will focus on tactical work and try to approach the starting match, against the Cypriots, in full combat readiness.

- Will you set a task for the team to win the tournament?

- Guys should have an incentive. The main one is a game in the T-shirt of the national team of Ukraine. And what is not the motivation - to win international competitions?
