The day after the match against Slovakia, the Ukrainian national team returned from Dusseldorf to its Euro 2024 base in Taunusstein and trained without the players in the starting lineup for the match against the Slovaks.
Just like after the first round match, the Blue and Yellows left their transfer hotel at 11 a.m. and took a two-and-a-half-hour bus ride back to their tournament camp at the Légère complex.
After lunch and rest, the 17 players traveled to the familiar stadium in Halberg.
Yesterday, the players who did not play against the Slovaks or came on as substitutes worked out. The national team captain Andriy Yarmolenko preferred jogging and restorative exercises in the air to rehabilitation procedures at the hotel, which were the case for nine other field players at yesterday's "start."
The goalkeepers traditionally worked under Rustam Khudzhamov's guidance in a full three, despite the fact that one of them spent 90 minutes on the field yesterday.
Meanwhile, the main group of players yesterday performed exercises on ball holding and decision-making speed, practiced selection, as well as the development and completion of the attack. In addition, the players took a lot of shots on goal. Technique, tactics, speed - everything mattered today. It is very important to raise the functional level of performers who still have less playing time to the level of the guys who played in the first two matches.
Today, the Ukrainians will continue training in Taunusstein.
