"Today we had an intensive training session. First the goalkeepers practised shots on goal with the general group, and then practised playing on exits with different moves in the goal. Good training with situations close to the game. They are very common in matches.

In addition, there was a lot of theoretical training. We need to remember and sort out our mistakes, emphasise the good moments from previous matches. All our players have already gathered, so this is the best time for this. In general, we have little time, it's not like in clubs. Therefore, we need to work in a short time to the maximum.

As for England - there is nothing to say. Everyone knows what players are gathered there, so we need to be ready for everything. Moreover, we have recently played our first match against them. Everyone remembers that the English perform a lot of flank passes. We must take it into account.

Personally, I cannot say which of the Englishmen is the most dangerous for our goal. Everyone remembers how Saka scored. Everyone knows a striker like Harry Kane. I said about two, but I believe that each of the England players has a good shot, some other characteristics unique to him. They are top-level players. We have to prepare for danger from each of them and in general from the whole opposing team.

I really hope that in Wroclaw we will be supported by the Ukrainians who live there now. I felt well what it is to play with and without fans. Our supporters can give us wings, add strength, which is sometimes so lacking," Trubin said.
