Zorya and Ukraine U-2021 defender Yevhen Cheberko believes that the blue-yellows can make up for the lost in the Euro-XNUMX qualifying tournament.

The captain of Ukraine U-XNUMX Yevhen Cheberko spoke about what he does during the quarantine related to the pandemic of the coronavirus.

- Yevhen, how are things going in quarantine?

- In principle, as in all. I missed football. Especially do not train now. Thank God, we are not sick, we follow the rules of quarantine, we stay at home.

- Now all the players are running around like never before. Have you made a mileage?

- I didn't count it, but I think the result is decent. Every day I run for 40-45 minutes.

- Do you manage to communicate with the ball at least a little?

- I can. My girlfriend acts as a personal coach (smiles). She throws me a ball and I work on my technique a little.

- How do you get assignments from coaches?

- The last time we received a training program was before the quarantine was tightened, when going outside became undesirable. But at the same time, via video link, we conduct home classes with the head coach, during which Viktor Skrypnyk makes the necessary adjustments to the process.

- Nine more rounds have not been played in the Premier League...

- I hope for a complete end of the season. I want everything to be resolved in a fair challenge, on a sports principle. 

- In the selection for the Euro, the Ukrainian youth can not yet boast of the results. When competition resumes, will there be a chance to fix everything?

- I am sure that the team will do everything in its power to improve the results. We leave no hope of getting a Euro ticket. In the course of qualifying, Ukraine failed in the game against Romania, and in other matches, luck often turned away from us. In general, there is something to catch up.
