The coach noted that the team had little time to prepare, as the Ukrainian championship would start in three weeks, so they had to make the most of it. The coach also stressed that the players should show maximum dedication in training and respect for each other, giving tips on the field. Now the team has both experienced players and young ones who also have considerable experience, so the team must understand what to do on the field and how to do it, and act with confidence in their own abilities.
During the warm-up, the players were offered a mini-relay race, during which they had to show their maximum speed in a short distance. Then they started working with balls, first holding the ball in small squares, and then, divided into two teams with one neutral, the players held the ball in a large square. Finally, the two teams played the full length of the pitch with the goalkeepers, though with restrictions on the number of touches to the ball.
The sparring match against Wolfsberger will start at 18:30 Kyiv time (17:30 local time). This meeting will take place in the town where the White and Blues hold their training camp, although on a different pitch - the Jacques Lemans Arena stadium, named after the watch brand founded in this very city - St. Veit an der Glan.
The team will travel to the game closer to the start of the match, having set up at the hotel. The journey will take just a few minutes.
