The women’s national team of Ukraine won a voucher to the elite of the League of Nations. The Kharkiv Metalist 1925 became the Vice -Empire of Ukraine. In both teams, the key playing is Anna Petryk.

”Champion« I decided to find out what emotions the football player feels from the success of the national team, who thinks about the performance of the Kharkiv club in the 201024/25 season. And also asked what mood she has before the finale of the Cup of Ukraine, where her club will play against Vorskla, with which Anna became the champion of Ukraine twice.

-First, I congratulate you on the exit In the elite of the League Nations. Already to summarize the tournament, what kind of selection was the hardest?

– I cannot say that some game was more difficult. All matches for the national team are usually not easy.

– In the match with Albania, she got an unpleasant stroke in the back. Doctors even came out on the field. However, she was able to finish. What was the well -being after the game?

– After playing with Albanka, everything (smiles – note) I remember only this blow to the back, but in the morning you get up and the back hurts, and somewhere the leg, and hands. There was a lot of struggle, but thank God, all is well.

– In the League of Nations, rivals can fall out of a country where women’s football traditions are very high. Is there a team against which one would particularly like to play?

– In the League and very strong teams play, it motivates me to work even more, to be more disciplined. In the league it would not be easy, I have an idea how in A.

I understand that we will defend more and play somewhere without a ball, but you can enjoy the defense, when everything is clear, in time, and the opponent’s team cannot go through – this is what you can enjoy when you do not dominate. I would like to play against Iceland (smiles – note).

-It will be the finale of the Cup of Ukraine, where Metalist-1925 will play against Vorskla. It is a fundamental rival for you, because she spent several seasons there. How is it for the athlete to play against former classmates, adds motivation?

– For me, Vorskla games are always very important. We spent a lot of time with girls, I know well how they play, they also know how I play. Therefore, motivation is more against such a rival.

– Unfortunately, the male Vorskla flew out of UPL. Rumors generally go not the most pleasant … Which is possible, reducing funding. Vorskla became the successor of housing-2, and has become the winner of the Ukrainian Championship several times. Although they have bypassed you, but I would probably not want to lose such a competitor?

– With such teams, our championship is more interesting. Such teams as: Vorskla, Kolos, Metalist 1925, and from next season and Sisters, I think it will be more interesting – Everyone is fighting not just for the championship, but for the opportunity to play in the European Cups. Of course, there are even more teams that will fight for this right, thereby making the Ukrainian Championship more attractive to Europe

– In the championship Metalist 1925 lost only 3 Vorskli points, but in 2025 your team scored 26 points out of 30 possible and missed only 1 goal. You were in great shape. This is a consequence: finally played, have a great meeting or…?

– I think it’s more about the playing and understanding of each other on the field. And after we lost points in the first round, we needed a maximum of us to achieve the desired result. So it turned out that each game was perceived as decisive and could no longer be banged.

– managed to even realize Dream Daria Bilodid – play a professional match. Considering that she has a different profile at all, as you work out with her, as the team was generally reacted to such news.

– In principle, everyone understands what the purpose was. The team was very well adopted by Dasha, helped, prompted and visible her desire and how she tried in training. It was also wondering for us what these people in individual sports (smiling – note). The council that had the time and opportunity to communicate and work with the European Champion.

– You have experience in performances in a beautiful, but such a distant Iceland. After that, you do not look at the option to try yourself abroad again?

– I would like to try myself in other championships, to feel what I can and whether I can compete there. There is a very great desire, I hope that I will be able to embody it soon.

– Recently, more and more girls are coming to football sections. You have become a champion of Ukraine several times, is the main play in the national team. What thoughts, moods allowed you to stay in football so that you advise them to reach the same achievements as you?

– In general, everything is simple: if you have a goal, desire and discipline, you just have to pay attention to others, believe in yourself and believe yourself. Sometimes you need to give up what you want at the moment to get what you wanted all your life. Do not betray your goals, take care of yourself and love what you do. The phrase that gives you to think about the result of your own work: what you sow – you reap.

If you put your heart in every workout, discipline – every day, faith – in every movement, sooner or later it will bear fruit. You need to love what you do, to be a devoted case, to work even when you do not see an instant result. It should be remembered that success is not a chance, but a consequence of daily work and patience.
