U-18 Ukraine U-XNUMX head coach Vladimir Yezersky told the latest news from his team camp.

yesterday night youth team of Ukraine (players not older than 2002 of birth) went to Armenia, where he will hold two control matches with local peers. On the eve of the departure, the leader of the blue-yellows Volodymyr Yezerskyi answered questions from the official website of the UAF.

- Volodymyr Ivanovych, are all the football players who came to the training camp healthy?

- Everything is fine here. The guys work with pleasure. Thanks to the UAF management that our gathering takes place in excellent conditions.

- In connection with the absence of Dynamo Kyiv players at this training camp, were the plans of your coaching staff somehow adjusted?

- The dream of every football player is to wear a national team T-shirt and not allow players to do it on purpose - to put it mildly, it is wrong. They do not gain international experience, so their development is hampered. And this may be the future of Dynamo.

We urgently had to call artists from the extended list. But I want to thank all the clubs that provided players for the national team. All the guys arrived in good condition. We did what we planned, so we will try to consolidate our training with a good game and result in friendly matches with the Armenian national team.

- Is this a chance for performers who are not so often called up to the national team?

- Of course. And after a few training sessions, I noticed that among them there are players who are able to fight for a place in the team. It all depends on them.

- What are the strengths of the Armenian national team?

- As far as I know, the director of the department of all national teams of this country is a Spaniard. Armenians have developed one program for all national teams. We watched two of their fights. The team is trying to demonstrate technical football, control the ball. There are several individually strong players. Our sparring matches should be interesting.

- Where will the fights take place?

- In Yerevan, at the new base of the Armenian national team. The match will start at 11 in Kyiv on October 11.00, and at 13 on the 12.00th.
