Recalling his performances in the U-19 championship, Zorya Kropyvnytskyi midfielder Oleh Manastyrnyi particularly noted Dynamo Kyiv striker Vladyslav Vanat.
"I remember the matches of the youth first team very well. "Shakhtar and Dynamo were the cream of Ukraine, it was difficult to play against them, while against Dnipro and Chornomorets we managed to play on equal terms and get a result, it was an honour for Zvezda.
I met with Dynamo several times, Vanat stood out very much - a guy who could wind up 3-4 players and score a goal, his technique at the children's level was incredible.
Playing against Dnipro and Chornomorets, we managed to show ourselves more. Perhaps there was less psychological pressure because Dynamo and Shakhtar are the elite of Ukrainian football," Ukrainian Football quoted Manastyrnyi as saying.
