The Golden Talent project has compiled another monthly ranking of the best Ukrainian footballers born in 2005-2007. This time, it was based on the results of April 2024, having traditionally interviewed more than 120 experts.
Matvey Ponomarenko
For the second time in a row, Dynamo's representative topped the ranking of the best Ukrainian footballers in the U19 age category. In March 2024, central defender Taras Mykhavko was No. 1 on the list, and in April - centre-forward Matvey Ponomarenko.
In March, Ponomarenko beat his teammate in terms of the number of mentions in expert questionnaires (68:63), but lost out on the number of top three places and let Mikhavko move ahead.
This time, the Kyiv striker won in all respects: mentions in the questionnaires - 76:61, first places - 35:21, total points - 171:125.
Let us remind you who takes part in the Golden Talent project survey. These are coaches, former footballers and journalists who are knowledgeable about the subject.
Dnipro-1 joker Ramik Hadzhiev took third place in the ranking (50 mentions in the questionnaires), Danylo Krevsun of Borussia Dortmund retained fourth place (34), and Dmytro Godia (31) broke into the top 5 due to his extremely productive play for Veres U19.
