Valery Palamarchuk: "Our girls are banished from the international experience in the Netherlands"

Youth women's team of Ukraine WU-19 returned from the Netherlands to participate in the European Championship qualifying tournament of 2020, unable to make it to the next round.

- There is a banal lack of international experience, - said the team's head coach Valery Palamarchuk about the performance of his wards in a comment to the official website of the UAF. - Two sparring matches with Romanians turned out to be not enough for our players to be psychologically ready to challenge the leading national teams of the continent.

Take at least kick-off match with the Irish. We had information that the opponents were trying to attack with large forces, with the connection of flanking defenders, so we decided to use free passes to use free zones in the defense of rivals. But under the pressure of the Irish, my wards lost their temper, did not adhere to game discipline and only in the second half were able to play on equal terms with their counterparts, however, at that time the score was already 0: 2…

- According to experts, your second fight our girls did much better, although their rivals, the Dutch, were considered clear favorites. Suffice it to say that with a score of 2: 1 in their favor, the hosts scored two more goals only at the end of the match…

- Indeed, this time my wards for a long time managed to perform the installation, clearly acting on defense, and to offer a decent resistance. It is a pity that we did not wait until the end, because, as it turned out later, in the event of a defeat with a minimum score, we would really claim a ticket to the elite round. But, you know, I've always been a supporter of the fact that you should achieve what you want on your own, and not count on a misfire of competitors or a smile of Fortune.

- У the final match Ukraine's national team took the upper hand over the Montenegrins. This fight is memorable'is also suspended by the fact that in the first half was suspended…

- The fact is that with a score of 1: 1 there were problems with lighting in the arena where the game took place. We were offered to finish the match the next evening. But then it would be necessary to postpone our and Montenegro's return home, and therefore had to look for another option. In the end, they decided to continue the fight on the next field, which, however, was not with natural, but with artificial turf. It all ended well for us, we scored one goal more than our opponents.

- What did you say to the wards after returning home?

- I thanked them, because each of them tried to show everything he can. In some it turned out better, in others - worse, but everyone tried - it's a fact. I want to wish them not to stop, to train hard and I hope that in time one of them will knock loudly on the door of the national women's team.
