Famous Ukrainian coach Roman Grigorchuk shared his opinion on which players from the Ukrainian U-20 national team, who performed at the 2025 World Cup (U-20), can advance to the Ukrainian national team.
«I would immediately highlight Matvey Ponomarenko. I have been watching him for a long time when he was the top scorer in the U-19 championship. I know him better than all the others. What I saw…. It even surprised me that he was not always in the lineup, but…
Matvey himself did not surprise me at all — he performs his job at the level he can and knows. I just felt happy for him — he is a very interesting footballer. Matvey is already ready to play in the UPL,» said Grigorchuk.
