Oleksandr Kosenko: "It will not be easy in the Euro 2022 away qualifiers"

The head coach of the Ukrainian national futsal team Oleksandr Kosenko commented on the results of the Euro 2022 qualification draw.

On Wednesday, September 2, in Nyon, Switzerland rivals of the blue-yellows were determined in the group stage of the European Championship selection. Our team will meet Croatia, Albania and the winner of the clashes between San Marino and Denmark. The results of the draw were commented by the coach of the national team of Ukraine Oleksandr Kosenko:

- We meet with Croatia not so seldom. We know each other well. There is a lot of information about Croats, we will prepare. Albania is a southern Balkan team, uncompromising, it will be very difficult at home. The winner of the duel San Marino - Denmark will also cling to any opportunity to score points, especially at home.

The formula with matches at home and away is a step forward in the development of futsal. Fans will have the opportunity to watch the team more often in qualifying games. It will not be easy in away matches, especially if spectators are allowed in the stands. They will mourn for their own, they will support. The more interesting it will be.

How real are the chances of the Ukrainian national team to leave the group?

- If you don't think that we will leave the group, you shouldn't even try. Before the start of the qualifying tournament, all teams set themselves this task. Everyone wants to get to the European Championship. We have a real chance to get out.

Our team has not met for more than six months. How have you been in contact with the players all this time?

- In telephone mode. He also came to Odessa for the pre-season tournament, talked to the players. Contact as much as possible.

Is there already information about the upcoming training camp of the futsal team?

- In November we will gather, we will hold a friendly game. Now we are looking for a rival. There were plans before, but they were waiting for the draw for the Euro 2022 selection to find the right opponent. It is clear that now the choice is not so great, and the possibilities are not limitless. We will try to prepare well and start performing in qualifying in December.
