Ukraine team headed by Vladimir Velichko suffered a second defeat in the tournament in the Spanish Oviedo and lost any chance to go to the finals of the World Cup in Brazil.
Recall scheme of the qualifying tournament consisted of two games. So after losing the first game against the home ground of the Spaniards with a score of 23:31, the chances of "blue-yellow" to the overall success decreased significantly. Now hard to say that this factor played a crucial role in setting up our boys in the second match of the Portuguese, but it was noticeable that zeal is missing. Unlike the first game where we started bad and went on hiatus as a leader, opposition from the Portuguese had quite different. The opponent had an advantage over almost the entire match was at a comfortable distance for him to account. The end result - 37:32.
The result of two matches following: - 8 m "yachiv of Spain and - 5 pm" yachiv from Portugal. It is unfortunate that despite the existence of high-quality players and full of opportunities for relevant training our talented young people will not be able to play at the World Championship.
At the next meeting of the Presidium FGU performance of our youth team will be given serious attention because it is the closest reserve national team, because delay in this matter is impossible.
