On June 10, the Ukraine national team, preparing for a friendly match against Germany, held their third training session in Bremen. The main focus was on refining tactical elements of the playing model that head coach Serhiy Rebrov is developing for the match.

Forward of Kyiv Dynamo, Vladyslav Vant, shared his impressions of working with the national team.

"I feel good, gradually getting into the rhythm. Right now we are trying to understand all the demands of the new coaching staff. But what he wants—this is a secret."

"I was looking forward to being called up for the national team and am glad that my expectations were fulfilled. The guys have welcomed me very well, there's a great atmosphere in the team overall. We are fully immersed in the training process, but so far I haven't received any specific instructions from Serhiy Stanislavovich. Probably we will get to know each other better later."

"I remember Dynamo in Rebrov's time. Back then, we passed balls to players. And now he is my main coach, and this feels great."

"Our next opponent will be Germany. This is a very good team, one of the best in the world. It will be interesting to play against them and see their current level. Then there will be qualification matches for Euro 2024 against North Macedonia and Malta. We need to give our maximum and win," — said Vladyslav Vant. 

Recall that the match against Germany, which Ukraine's national team will play on June 12 in Bremen at the Weserstadion, is a charity friendly match (kickoff time—7 PM Kyiv time). This will be the 1000th game in the history of the German national team.
