Volodymyr Yezerskyi: "We are looking forward to October, when the national team will play in the Euro qualifiers"

Volodymyr Yezerskyi, the coach of the U-19 youth national team of Ukraine, is preparing the team for the qualifying round of the European Championship.

The youth national team of Ukraine (football players not older than 2003) finished their training before the start in the qualifying round of Euro-2022 (U-19). Acting head coach Volodymyr Yezerskyi told the UAF official website about the results of this work.

- Vladimir Ivanovich, your first training camp with the U-19 national team is over. What are your impressions?

- Since all the youth teams have not met for a long time, and there was a rotation of coaches of some teams, I first needed to get acquainted with the wards. We trained, played two friendly matches, tried to instill in the guys the ideas of mentors. Therefore, we look forward to October, when this team will play in the Euro qualifiers.

- There was little time for acquaintance, but do you have hope that before the start of the official matches the national team will be fully armed?

- In such a short period of time it will be difficult for me to demand from the team everything I would like to see. I do not want to offend rivals in sparring, but this is not the level that will be in the Euro qualifiers. True, or control matches, with young men of "Vorskla" and "Colossus", all the same were necessary.

At the last meeting we were not in the optimal composition. Someone was injured, and someone will have to meet just before the tournament.

- At the same time, did you start studying opponents in the group?

- I know that the Finnish national team has held meetings more than once. We collect information about her. There are about seven teams playing in the elite division of the Finnish championship. I've been to this country, I know how the national team vertical works. This is a strong opponent. The same applies to the Polish team, the host of the tournament. In general, the group is not easy. I think it is Ukraine, Poland and Finland that will draw tickets to the next stage of the competition.

It will be recalled that this training was dedicated to the preparation of the blue and yellows for the qualifying round of Euro-2022 (U-19), which will be held in Poland from 6 to 12 October. There, in addition to the hosts, the national team of Ukraine will play with Finland and Malta. According to the rules, the winners of the first two places in the quartets of this round and the best team among those who will take third place in the matches with the first and second teams, will join Portugal in the elite qualifying round. There will be 28 national teams divided into seven groups, the winners of which at Euro 2022 will form a company in Slovakia.
