The third day of the Ukrainian national team's training camp in Poland is in full swing. The theory session before lunch on Tuesday was quite long, and the evening training session was intense.
The players are working out coaching ideas during game series, the training continues at a high pace and with demanding tasks from head coach Serhii Rebrov. The team is fully aware of how serious the opponent will be on the pitch in Wroclaw on Saturday night. So it is noticeable with what desire and dedication the guys work in every game episode and during every exercise.
On Tuesday, the last legionnaire, Serhii Kryvtsov, arrived at the team's location. Our defender's flight from Los Angeles, where his Inter Miami team played an MLS game, with a stopover in Frankfurt lasted 15 hours. In the end, Serhiy himself said after arriving at the Blue and Yellows camp that he was feeling fine. However, after such a long journey, Kryvtsov has not yet worked with the general group today, having jogged and stretched on the field, but it is clear that he is eager to join the team's work.
The goalkeepers under the guidance of Rustam Khudzhamov today focused on movement and on locating the ball during the opposition's shots and attacks. The head of the goalkeeping department focuses the attention of his wards on the fast play of the English and their tendency to a large number of shots. Similarly, given the factors of the game, the field players are the favourites of our group.
Today, the Blue and Yellows will continue to work in a two-day training session. Oleksandr Pikhalenok, who arrived at the team's location last night to replace Mykola Shaparenko, who left the national team due to injury, will also be able to take part in them.
It will be recalled that in Poland, the Ukrainian national team is preparing for the Euro 2024 qualifying matches against England (9 September) and Italy (12 September).
