After the defeat suffered in Paris against the Netherlands, Philippe Bergeroo's players travel to Ukraine for the continuation of qualifying for Euro 2017 which will take place in the Netherlands. Ohla Ovdiychuk and Iryna Sanina, players of the Ukrainian selection and Kharkiv address this meeting Tuesday against the French.

Olha Ovdiychuk (attacker of the selection):

"I did not have the chance yet to play against the French national team. Given the success of the French team in the World Cup, I would say that it is a leading team in European women's football. Our main goal for the moment is to get out of the group, we are working hard to achieve this goal. I think we have a very good chance of getting there. To be honest, Ukrainian women's football is still far too weak. I think the main reason is the lack of funding for football clubs and the lack of sports schools. Overall, there is less attention given to women's football in Ukraine compared to other countries. "

Iryna Sanina (goalkeeper of the selection):

"France is among the best teams in the world, one of the strongest. I really like the way they play football. With a lot of speed and with excellent players. I am particularly pleased to see that the players of the national team play in their national championship and not in other countries. We have a chance of course to leave the group. We must try to gain the most points in the home and away matches. We believe in ourselves and our team. In Ukraine, the championship certainly does not have the level compared to elsewhere in Europe, but I think we are moving in the right direction. There are visible improvements every year. "
