Alexander Petrakov: "After the match with England we will break through a series of 11-meter"

Head coach of U-17 Ukraine national team Oleksandr Petrakov will check their wards in matches with top teams in Europe.

This morning the youth national team of Ukraine (footballers not older than 2003) flew to Spain. The blue-and-yellows will play three friendly matches there: on February 6 - against England, on February 8 - against Belgium and on February 10 - against England again (all matches will start at 17.00 pm Kyiv time).

The day before, the team leader Oleksandr Petrakov spoke about the expectations from this meeting:

- The upcoming training camp, which can be called one of the most prestigious during my work in the youth national teams, will take place largely thanks to UAF President Andriy Pavelko, who promised me that he would personally help organize this stage of preparation. The British, who once wanted to cooperate with Ukraine, sent an offer to play a friendly match in February last year. I did not want to miss this opportunity to play with one of the strongest teams in Europe. Moreover, at the request of the British, we will hold another sparring match with them the next day, after which, no matter how the fight ends, we will break through a series of 11-meter.

Belgium, another of our rivals, I think, especially do not need to be represented. Everyone knows that football in this country is on the rise now. Therefore, the benefit of this fee is very difficult to overestimate.

We will remind that in March the national team of Ukraine will compete for a ticket to the final part of Euro 2020 (U-17) with the hosts of the tournament, the Turks (25th), as well as the teams of Belarus (28th) and Greece (31st). The winners of the groups and the seven best second teams (according to the results of the matches with the first and third teams of their group) will reach the final stage, where they will join the host of Euro - Estonia. The final tournament will take place from May 21 to June 6.
