- Oleg Volodymyrovych, is the squad that went to the qualifying round of the European Championships optimal?

- I think so. If many new players were invited to the recent training camp in South Korea, now the emphasis was on the players having game practice.

- But even now there are still some newcomers...

- Yes. We've been following Timur Tuterov for a long time, when he was still playing for Kolos. He is currently playing steadily for Sunderland's youth team. I have good things to say about Oleksandr Pyshchur, a tall striker from Pushkash Academy. Bohdan Manuilov is also performing well in Spain. I hope these guys will help us.

- Will the team have little time to prepare for the tournament?

- We left Kyiv on the morning of the 11th. We arrived in Malta on the 12th in the late afternoon. In fact, we will have two full working days.

- What do you know about your future qualifying rivals?

- We collect the most information on the Maltese national team, because we meet the hosts in the first round. And we will look at Kosovo and Slovakia at the tournament itself.

- Can the Ukrainian national team be called the favourite of this group?

- I wouldn't be so categorical. The Maltese are the hosts, so they will be highly motivated. We met and defeated Kosovo, but it was a very difficult match for Ukraine. And Slovakia has always had promising youngsters. So I wouldn't single out any team. All opponents have about the same chances of success.

- Can we not ask about the task of the blue and yellows?

- Our team has no other goal but to make it to the elite round of the European Championship qualifiers.
