Serhiy Rebrov's protégés continue their preparation in Gdansk, Poland, where they have gathered in full strength. One of the newcomers to the national team, Vladyslav Dubynchak, shared his impressions of the training process.

"We often talk about the team when the guys return from its location. They tell me what the atmosphere is like there. So I've long wanted to be here — it's my childhood dream. I'm very happy to be here, and with inspiration, I want to work hard. It was a bit unexpected, but I'm very glad that I received this call. I hope to justify the coach's trust."

My competitors in the team? Of course, I know them. This is my old teammate — Vitaliy Mykolenko. We were together in Dynamo's youth team. When he was in the main team, I played on loan. A great guy, I'm only happy for him that he plays in such a strong league. I hope to be able to compete with him, and we'll see.

I watched all of Ukraine's national team matches, including the away game against Italy. It's a very good, strong team. There are players who don't need any introduction; they play at the world level. I hope that we can beat them and qualify for Euro.

Our foreign-based players are progressing, showing results, scoring goals, making assists. This inspires those who are currently playing in Ukraine's top league and also aspire to play in a strong league.

Regarding Mykolenko's goal-scoring streak, I'm happy for Vitaliy. He's doing great work. The fact that he scores is an indicator of his hard work. He works very hard. We haven't had the chance to talk yet, but I'll definitely tell him that he's doing a great job.

I haven't spoken with the coach yet. I think we will have a conversation soon. So far, it has been theoretical. Everyone knows Serhiy Rebrov; he is a renowned professional, and I very much wanted to work with him."

Recall that the Euro-2024 qualifier match between Ukraine and Italy will take place on November 20 in Leverkusen, Germany, at the BayArena (kickoff — 9:45 PM Kyiv time).
