On March 20, the blue-and-yellow team arrived in London after a difficult journey and immediately began preparing for their match against England. Our team held its first practice session at the fitness center. The goalkeeper of Real Madrid, Andriy Lunin, shared his impressions about the start of work.
"I joined the national team with good feelings. There was a long break, and I hadn't seen my teammates for a while, so it's nice to meet everyone again and start a new training session. Personally, I am in great shape and feel well. I work every day; also, this season I played more games for my club than in previous seasons, so both psychologically and physically, I am fully prepared.
As for the opponents— they are very serious to us. England, Italy... I never make any predictions no matter who we play against. Everyone clearly understands who is in our group. The matches will be challenging but interesting. We will try to achieve positive results. By the way, our first game will take place at a historic stadium, Wembley, so motivation is sky-high," said Andriy Lunin.
We remind you that the match of the Euro-2024 qualifier between England and Ukraine will take place on March 26 in London (kickoff—7:00 PM Kyiv time).
