The new head coach of the Ukraine U-19 national team Dmytro Mykhailenko spoke about the strengths of the Watford U-18 striker, the son of legendary Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko, Christian Shevchenko, who, as you may recall, received his debut call-up to the blue-and-yellow squad the day before.
"How does Christian Shevchenko resemble his father at the age of 17? He resembles him in physique and also plays in the attacking group. He is fast, he scores goals. But he plays more on the flank.
As for the question of adaptation in the youth national team of Ukraine, I think, if a man is motivated, everything will be fine. We will do everything to make him feel at home. All the guys are going to the national team with good motivation, with the desire to win and prove themselves. They want to do everything for the sake of their native country.
So I am sure that everything will be fine there. He will get acquainted with his peers. But in fact, we have a lot of foreigners and not everyone knows each other. Now there is such a situation, that there are a lot of players from foreign clubs. So they have to find a common language to communicate. We have players from Belgium, Germany, so everything will be fine," - quotes Mikhailenko NV.
