In the “blue and yellow” all three duels were conducted by Barcelona midfielder Artem Fishermanwhich after the tournament exclusively for the site Sport.ua He remembered not only about past competitions, but also told about his life and speeches for the Catalan team.
– Artem, let’s start with not very good news. The national team of Ukraine could not break into the Second Qualification Round of Euro-2026 (U-17). Why?
– We tried very tried, fought to the last, but among other things, I think Fart was not on our side.
– Especially, probably in the match with Montenegro, when the players of the opponent at the end of the duel could not run, falling from fatigue?
– I agree. In the last minutes, we pressed them to the gate, but because of some incredible coincidence, the ball did not fly into the gate. And this draw – 1: 1, was essentially decisive for our team.
UAF. Artem Rybak (No. 7) -However, this national team has potential, because in the spring you need to earn a place in the league A so that you then have a chance to fight for euros when the team is already U-19?
– Of course, there. We still think we showed good football. Next we will only be stronger.
– In the national team you represented Barcelona. How did you find yourself in this European Grand?
– I was engaged in Shakhtar Academy, but with the beginning of the war I went abroad. At first he was in Herta, but then, when I had a chance to get to Barcelona, I went to Spain without thinking.
-With the Catalan team you have already won a serious tournament, the club Championship of World (U-18).
– Yes, these were unforgettable emotions, because in addition to victory, in a duel with the Argentine “Racing” I managed to score the winning ball.
– From childhood, what team did you get sick?
– Always for Barcelona (smiles). It may be the fate that I was in this club.
– Which player remembered when he first saw on TV?
– Of course, it’s Lionel Messi. I liked his dribbling, leadership qualities and modesty.
– But you were not lucky enough to catch the Argentine in Barcelona.
– Such a life, you will not do anything. Not enough one year to get a legend in Spain (smiles).
– And from the Ukrainians, when you deliberately started watching football, who liked you?
– Andriy Yarmolenko. Speaking of his qualities, I was also impressed by his technique, and I still liked when he shifted from the flank to the center and scored with his left leg.
– Do you know, or maybe you looked on the Internet, how in 1997 Dynamo thundered Barcelona in the Champions League?
– I didn’t see these two duels, but I looked slicing the best moments. Then Andrey Shevchenko lit there.
Artem Fisherman – This season will the Catalans be able to win the most prestigious club tournament in Europe?
– Why not. Despite the defeat of the Saint-Germain, Barcelona has a chance to win the Champions League. The team is now strong selection of performers. It is necessary to make up for what failed to do last season (smiles).
– Which of the present composition do you like on the field?
– During the game, I really like Pedry’s thinking. And Yamal impresses with its incredible dribbling.
– By the way, with which of the current players of the team did you cross?
– crossed – it is said loudly (smiles). He saw Buschets, Dembele (who had already gone), Hawa, Rafinho, Erica Garshuya. What just a “five” gave everything.
– In your spare time, what do you do?
– There are not many of it, because after schooling, there is a workout and evening.
– What is your favorite subject?
– physical education (laughs).
– And from the humanities?
– Although I already know Spanish, I do not cease to improve it. It is pleased to me.
– If it were not for Barcelona, what other European club would you prefer?
– By the way, I never thought about this issue because I always cheered for Barsa. Probably Manchester City?
– There are many legionnaires in the team you act for?
– Five together with me. These are representatives of England, Poland, Morocco and Mexico.
UAF. Artem Rybak (right) – In the national team of Ukraine did you perform under the seventh number, and in Barcelona?
– We do not have fixed numbers, in every game they change. But in general, my favorite is the tenth, all because Messi performed in the T -shirt with this figure.
– You said that your goal is to perform in the main composition of Barcelona and the National Team of Ukraine. It’s a difficult way. How to achieve this?
– You need to work a lot and have a great love for football.
-Finally, I can not help but ask you about the national team of Ukraine, which on October 10 and 13 should play very important selected matches of the World Cup against Iceland and Azerbaijan. We have a great chance of success?
– I think yes. There is nowhere to retreat, I want to believe that the abuse in Azerbaijan was just a misunderstanding and now the national team will show its best football. Despite the fact that there are injured players, this should not be an obstacle to a positive result. We have many players in strong European clubs, which is a big plus for the country’s main team.
