“The mood is fighting, all the boys understand the responsibility of these competitions, so the coaching staff is optimistic about the near future.
Literally a week before the start of the training camp, the midfielder of the Dutch AZ Bohda Budko was injured, so he will not be with us. Everyone else we wanted to see arrived at the team location.
Baumann’s debut challenge? We have been following this performer for a long time, we have been in contact with him for a long time. He is a quality central midfielder who consistently plays for Manchester United U-18, U-19 and U-21, becoming the champion of England in his age category. We are glad that the issue of his obtaining a Ukrainian passport has been resolved. I believe that this is a strengthening for the national team of Ukraine. The guy was born in 2007 and has huge potential.
The Netherlands are a strong team, so I think they are clear favorites in our group. As for the other teams, I don’t want to underestimate the opponents in any case. Slovenia is now on the rise. This applies to all national teams, starting with the national team. The U-19 team has a large number of players playing in Italy, which says a lot. As for the Kazakhs, all their performers represent local clubs. Therefore, until the qualifying matches have started, I believe that everyone has equal chances.
Our goal is to make it to the elite round of the tournament, and from which place is not so important,” said Mykhaylenko.
The Ukrainian national team will play the first qualifying match for the Junior Euro against Kazakhstan on November 13, at 20:00 Kyiv time.
