Yesterday, the blue-and-yellow team held a pre-match training session on the Republican Stadium named after Vazgen Sargsyan in Yerevan. Twenty-four players participated, including newcomer Eduard Sarapoy from «Dnipra-1», who trained with the national team for the first time in Armenia. The rookie shared insights about his training experience.

"I feel good, it was a light training session that benefited everyone to stretch muscles and prepare for the game. I had an even lighter workload than others, so there are no problems."

I know many of the guys — some I've crossed paths with on the football field or in the academy. For example, Mykolenko is my teammate from when we were younger. We communicate and maintain contact; he's my best friend here.

We will be focused because there's no room for error, so concentration will be at its highest level. This mindset gives the team a winning impulse. Everything goes smoothly emotionally, which makes it easier to prepare for the game," — Sarapoy believes.

Recall that the match of the 5th round group stage of the Nations League between Armenia and Ukraine will take place on September 24 in Yerevan at the Republican Stadium named after Vazgen Sargsyan (kickoff — 16.00 Kyiv time).

Today it became known that Eduard Sarapoy did not make the lineup for the game against Armenia.
