League of Ukraine season 44
Forum: League forum 
Discuss your league, who are the favorites to win the league this season? Who will be promoted/relegated, how are you doing in the cup?
National Team (69)
The last period at the national team was quite bad, but I tried to give the chance for young players, to get experience (also on European Championship).
I didn't extended my VIP account, and privately I was very busy at the end of the year. Thats why I didn't candidated.
Next period I'm going to be back, I will have more time.
I will still build up young players, and take care about the future. We have some good players from these youngsters worldwide.
Prykarpattya is going to be based in the future of ukrainian players. We are having only 2 foreign players this season (both on loan). And for the future I'm planning also the same way. Saving up money, and extend the stadium as soon as possible, but many times we have problems with the spectators (only 20.000 in the 50k stadium).
Sadly, the league is not really getting stronger, after some better seasons international no success, no coefficient points for the ukrainian league.
Tiras is developing and see the potential, that they can finish 4th, so this way overtake Kiev4 and Knicks (currently +7 points to these teams).
Finally I saved up enough money for the 70k-stadium.
Today I took back the seat at the national team.
Tomorrow we start the european qualifications. The opponents are Turkey, Portugal, Ireland, Finland and Liechtenstein.
We can reach 4th place with a bit luck, but maybe we are currently only better than Liechtenstein.
In the squad I made also several changes, new faces are:
Defenders: Tsygan, Fusosky, Fedorovsky, Svyatopolkov, Patrushin
Midfielders: Zyrianov, Silkov, Birindov
Strikers: Bilhorod, Pustalev.
For the future we are also having some hopeful guys:

No chance against Turkey
Ukraine - Turkey 0:4 (0:3)
Ukraine: Postolskiy - Anjukov, Holobin, Koptev, Tsygan, Patrushev - Zyrianov, Silkov, Barankin - Bilhorod (Chertkov), Dolgoborodov.
Turkey won against us on the first gameday of the European Qualifications. They are playing in an "another league", while in our team made some players their debut in the national team (Patrushev, Zyrianov, Silkov, Bilhorod).
We are going to stay tuned, and building the new players up for the future.
One point from Finland
After being down in the 11th minute by 0:2, and Postolskiy got injured, the ukrainians fought back, and saved a point against Finland.
Finland - Ukraine 2:2 (2:0)
Ukraine: Postolskiy (Kondratenko) - Anjukov, Motorin, Holobin, Svyatopolkov, Tsygan - Salenko, Silkov (Esenin), Barankin - Dolgoborodov, Chertkov.
Goals: Dolgoborodov (48' ; 75')
We took a bad start in Finland, after 11 minutes was already 2:0 for the home team. 11 minutes later came Kondratenko into the game after the injury of Postolskiy. Half time stand was 2:0.
We made a change in the HT, Esenin came for Silkov. Esenin was able to give an assist to Dolgo', and we were into the game!
Finland woke up, and had more chances to score again, but Kondratenko or Anjukov were able to clear after their shots. The last 20 minutes came our moments, Dolgoborodov missed 2 times, but in the 74th minute the finnish defence conceded a penalty. Dolgo' took the ball, and scored! 2:2!
Both teams had their chance to win the game, but Hakola and Kondratenko also saved.
Good result for us, Finland is a stronger team, but we are continueing the project, to build up our young players.
Lost to Ireland
The better guests took the 3 points from Ukraine on the 3. gameday.
Ukraine - Republic of Ireland 0:2 (0:1)
Ukraine: Kondratenko - Anjukov, Motorin, Drannikov, Salenko, Tszarev - Holobin, Barankin, Esenin - Birindov, Dolgoborodov (Pustalev).
Ireland won well deserved against our team, we had only a few chance to score.
3 from Liechtenstein
Finally! We booked our first win against Liechtenstein this morning.
Liechtenstein - Ukraine 2:4 (1:1)
Ukraine: Kondratenko - Holobin, Motorin, Fusosky, Tszarev, Patrushev - Zyrianov, Esenin, Barankin - Bilhorod (Pustalev), Dolgoborodov.
Goals: Bilhorod (43'), Dolgoborodov (52' ; 56'), Pustalev (61').
Our hosts scored the first in this game, but short before halftime whistle, Vitaly equalised (1st goal in the national team!).
The second half started our ukrainians much better and scored in 9 minutes 3 times! Dolgoborodov made a double, and Pustalev scored also his first goal in the national team by the assist from Patrushev.
At the end scored Liechtenstein one more time, but Ukraine won well deserved this game, and we are now at fourth place on the table.
The national team is getting better and better, we won against Finland 3:0, and will earn the 4th place in the group.
Our youngsters made also a good performance (Salenko, Bilhorod, Silkov)
Turkey, Ireland and Portugal are different level.
