Unlike Saturday, Sunday was not rainy but equally cold — only four to six degrees. During the evening session, it started raining for a moment, which combined with the wind created significant discomfort. However, fortunately, this sudden change in weather was short-lived, and the second part of the training passed without any precipitation.

Today, the Ukraine team trained as one group: all players present in the squad participated. After warming up and working on passing, the boys moved to the main work. Within game series, Serhiy Rebrov set specific tasks for the footballers, honing schemes for the decisive match. As before the match against Bosnia, the head coach of the blue-and-yellow team is actively rotating players in positions, so all players have a chance to prove their readiness to play in the playoff final. During today's training, the national team also worked on passing with finishing shots and ended the evening session by practicing penalty kicks.

Tomorrow, the national team will head to Wroclaw. The Ukrainians will be staying in Tshebnice, where they were last September before their qualification match against England.

At 18:00 CET, the head coach of Ukraine's national team Serhiy Rebrov and one of the players from the national team will meet with representatives of the media (online broadcast of the press conference — on YouTube channel UAF), and at half past six in the evening, our team's official training session will begin, the first 15 minutes of which will be open to the media.
