Valery Palamarchuk: “We will give chance to 18 players in sparring with Romanians, but the doors to the national team are not closed yet”

In early October, the youth women's national team of Ukraine WU-19 in the Netherlands will take part in the qualifying tournament for the 2020 European Championship. In preparation for this exam, our girls will play two control matches against Romania on August 19 and 21.

- They will be preceded by a three-day training camp, which will be held in Bucha at the training base of FC Obolon-Brovar, - said the head coach of the Ukrainian national team WU-19 Valery Palamarchuk. - We are looking forward to sparring matches with Romanians, because at the final stage of preparation, at the end of September in Kyiv, control matches are no longer planned.

- How many players did you call to participate in these matches?

- 18s. 

Goalkeepers: Anna-Maria Kryshchyshyn (Karpaty Lviv), Maria Valchuk (Ladomyr Volodymyr-Volynskyi).

Defenders: Anna Lemeschuk, Oleksandra Krevska (both Ladomyr Volodymyr-Volynskyi), Alisa Bordyug (EMS-Podillya Vinnytsia), Romana Lukach (no club), Daria Zubach (Rodina Lyceum Kostopil).

Midfielders: Kateryna Kuksa (Invictus NUBIP Kyiv), Olena Tarasenko (Karpaty Lviv), Iryna Kotyash (Zhytlobud-2 Kharkiv), Anastasia Kurdyuk (Mariupolchanka Mariupol), Alina Godunko (Rodina Lyceum Kostopil, Nadiya Veherych ("Unity" of Plyska), Lyudmyla Kunina ("Zhytlobud-1" Kharkiv).

Forwards: Oksana Bilokur (Panthers Uman), Diana Nikolaychuk (ATEX-SDYUSHOR-16 Kyiv), Anastasia Kuzmych (Ladomir Volodymyr-Volynsky), Anastasia Nemets (Mariupolchanka Mariupol).

- And why aren't Veronika Nikityuk and Iryna Kushnir on this list, who showed themselves well in the previous selection and who have the right to perform in the current cycle by age?

- They did not escape serious injuries, did not do without surgery, and, unfortunately, I can not count on them. Of course, these are serious losses.

- Who in their absence will be able to claim the role of leader? Perhaps 17-year-old Lyudmila Kunina, who has already declared herself in the strongest team in Ukraine - "Zhytlobuda-1"?

- You know, I'm not a fan of giving advances to any of the wards. Let's play with the Romanians, then we'll talk about this topic more specifically.

- What information about the opponent do you have?

- In terms of training, the youth national teams of Ukraine and Romania are approximately equal. Our closest rivals are trying to act compactly, quite toughly, so it will be interesting to challenge them. The coach from Ternopil Volodymyr Levchuk will help me in these confrontations. It should be noted that the selection work is still ongoing, and at the final meeting I plan to review a few more potential newcomers. Especially since the application for participation in the qualifying tournament in the Netherlands can include 20 players.

- Do you already know the dates of the qualifying round matches?

- So. On October 2, we will clarify relations with the national team of Ireland, on the 5th - with the hosts and on the 8th - with the Montenegrins. Next week it will be known which Dutch city will host this tournament.
