Maksym Krupenin: "We work in a club with a great history, and youth development is a very important part for us"

U-19 coach Maksym Krupenin on the result of the autumn part for U-19:

-The autumn part of the season is over. How can you evaluate it for U-19?
- Only positively. The main thing is that all the players got game practice. And thank God, they played without serious injuries. Everything is good.

The team also played a lot of control matches, in addition to official ones.

Of course, there were different matches in the championship. Sometimes we were complete in games, and sometimes not. We tried several game schemes. We have very young guys and we don't always have a stable game. Every training session we improve our strengths and work on our mistakes.

-Which of the guys have progressed the most, in your opinion?
-Many of the guys we have been working with recently, and there is already a positive developmental trend. But this is both their work and the merit of the whole team. Youth is a time for ambition and achievement.

-Our player Fedir Zadorozhnyi is currently the top scorer of the U-19 championship.
-This is very nice. We congratulate him and wish him only success! But the main thing is not to stop and keep progressing.

-Some guys trained with the first team during the season. Is this more of an advance or have they earned it through their work?
- There are no advances in football. If coaches pay attention to a young player and invite him to train with the first team, it is the result of hard work and personal discipline. It is important not to stop. Such a chance is given very rarely. You have to take advantage of it.

We work at a club with a great history, and youth development is a very important part for us.

- What are the team's vacation and offseason plans?
- All players receive individual physical training during the vacation. The team is scheduled to return from vacation on January 14. The guys will undergo a medical examination and testing.

Then we will start the training camp. We will,
Preferably, work in a two-day training regimen. Control games with teams of different classes are planned. But all this is ahead.
