Kyiv "Dynamo" has started preparations for the second part of the season. Oleksandr Shovkovskyi\'s team will traditionally hold winter training camps in Turkey.

Insiders are already starting to play with the names of young footballers who will try their luck at the level of the first team.
Usually, the youth team is located close to the first team in Turkey. Therefore, a number of young players get their chance not only in the training process but even in friendly matches.
Matviy Ponomarenko and Roman Salenko can already be considered first team players. Both have already played at the UPL level. Matviy even scored. These are primarily players who will have a chance to show themselves.
For others, it is more complicated. Unfortunately, there are currently no players in the youth team who can realistically compete for a place in the first team. Everything depends on the problematic positions in the adult team. There was a shortage of central defenders — Taras Mykhavko got his chance. There is an opinion that he was not very ready before this. When something happens artificially, problems arise later. Unfortunately, Taras had enough goal mistakes in the autumn.
If we take into account the problems of today's first team, we are primarily talking about center defense and flanking midfielders. Bogdan Slyubik and Ime Okon have arrived for a trial in defense. This means that Nazar Balaba, Yegor Szyzonyuk, and Vladyslav Zakarchenko will not get their chance for now.
It is more interesting with the wingers. Andriy Matkevich wants to go on loan. Dmytro Kremchanyn has been in the youth team for more than one year, but he has not yet received a chance. Kyrylo Pashko went to the training camp with the first team in the summer and got injured. After that, he missed the entire first part of the season. It is unlikely that he is now ready to compete and show his best qualities.
For me, the number one candidate is Ivan Andreyko. Despite his 16 years, he has shown himself very well at the U-19 level. I would compare his talent to Viktor Tsygankov's. Ivan is a very skillful, intelligent player who knows how to work with the ball and has speed. He is also very strong mentally, as he played without problems right away in the youth team.
The second candidate is Bohdan Redushko. While Andreyko is exclusively a winger, Redushko can play in all positions in the midfield. In the youth team, in the autumn, he played more precisely on the flank. He has speed and technical qualities.
I wouldn't rule out that Oleksandr Peykrishvili will get his chance. Although the competition in the midfield of the first team is fierce. Peykrishvili is also a very intelligent, skillful player who had a high-level first part in the youth team of "Dynamo". He won quite serious competition for a place in the starting lineup.
