Renowned coach and expert Oleg Fedorchuk commented on the problem with the level of qualification of young Ukrainian players.
"I believe that the market of young Ukrainian players is now at a low level. Although we are world champions, but our player becomes mature only at 23-24 years old, and that's too late.
Now even in children's soccer the Spanish model of the game dominates. On the one hand, they are getting more technical, but we are losing athletically. We used to have an advantage in this component, but now it is more difficult. I think that's a problem as well. We do not use our national advantages.
Lobanovskyi was the first to understand that we should rely on endurance and discipline. And now we run in Dutch and Spanish style, but you need to live there for that. I believe that the legionnaires also influenced this transition," Fedorchuk quotes "Ukrainian Football"..
