the National team of Faroe Islands was considered as the unconditional outsider of any selection cycle earlier. But recently islanders began a thicket to select points at the rivals and even to be noted by sensations. To take, for example, selection to the last championship within which Faroe Islands beat the national team Greece twice. Start of selection campaign to the World Cup Olsen Lars also can bring in itself an asset – before defeat from Portugal islanders drew with Hungary and beat Latvia, having kept in both cases the gate in inviolability.

the Halfback of the national team of Faroe Islands Renee Yoensen's in conversation with the journalist of "Evro-Futbol.Ru" Antonenko Aleksey told p to

about the key reasons of progress of team, a situation in a locker room, prospects of young talents on Faroe Islands and not only.

- Good afternoon, Rene! In recent years we observe essential progress of the national team of Faroe Islands. The team battles in each match, gathers points … With what the last progress is connected?

- Hello! I think, here it is important to note change of organizational culture in team. Earlier only a few Faroese football players acted outside the native championship. Now 10-12 players of the national team have decent contracts in other leagues. Together with the best representatives of the championship Faroe Islands turns out good mix. Now we play good and fast soccer, instead of we are simply protected all the time.

- In the 2011th year the national team were headed by Olsen Lars. He manages to motivate football players specially?

- Yes, its influence on us also is felt by strong. Olsen Lars long time supported the national team Denmark, and football players respect it for it. Olsen Lars knows a lot of things about soccer, has a wide experience therefore players very attentively listen to its installations. It should be noted that Olsen Lars is very diligent in work.

- last decade the national team of Faroe Islands passed p much. In the current selection in two starting matches your team kept the gate in inviolability. At the expense of what it is possible to provide reliability in defense?

- Besides, here feel Olsen Lars. It is very strict when it is a question of defense. At Olsen Lars there is own system of that we have to do in protection as have to move. If we do everything correctly, this system works.

- What atmosphere costs p to

in a locker room of the national team Faroe Islands? You do not sing songs in style of Norwegian of "Rusenborg"?

- (Laughs). When we lose, in a locker room is so silent that it is possible to hear pin falling on a floor. When we win … It is difficult to describe this feeling. We turn on the Faroese music on full loudness, we sing and we dance. Sometimes we sing the song Riki Tiki Taka. You need to be there to feel this atmosphere.

- What purposes are set before itself by the national team in selection to the World Cup-2018?

- Faroe Islands already won one game. But to stop on reached it is not necessary, we will seek to reach as it is possible bigger.

- As the national team of Faroe Islands prepares for matches?

- If we play strong late at night, we wake up in 12 hours – at 9:45. We have breakfast, and at midday the trainer's staff carries out the class in tactics devoted to the forthcoming match. Then we again eat and we have a rest. In 3 hours prior to a starting whistle we are expected by one more special meal which is called pre-game. After that the team goes on stadium.

- Such victories how in last selection over Greece, add to the Faroese football players of confidence of the forces?

- Certainly, it gives to players and a trainer's staff of confidence. It is very pleasant to realize that we can resist to such serious rivals.

- As fans after successful matches meet you?

- We simply approach strong to them to talk and embrace. We have a small country (the population does not hold out to 50 thousand – a bus comment) therefore we know almost all. When Faroe Islands act houses, strong support lifts our level, stimulates team.

- How difficult to the inhabitant of Faroe Islands to become and to Denmark (Yoensen acts for Danish "Vendsissel" and passed Brondbyu school – a bus comment) was essential. The Faroese trainers not always were qualified. And the local championship was poor therefore children had to combine occupations by soccer and work. In this regard, it was almost impossible to promote in our house league.

But now everything changed. I heard that on Faroe Islands there was a football school for children of 13, 14 and 15 years where they combine study and sports activities. Thanks to this step it is possible to tell that Faroe Islands move in the correct direction. For me in due time moving to Denmark was the best option.

- Of what football players on Faroe Islands dream?

- Oh … I at all do not know how to answer this question (laughs).
