Throughout the entire Saturday in Herzogenaurach and its surroundings, it rained — sometimes heavier, sometimes lighter, but the precipitation was essentially continuous.

The evening session began with a traditional warm-up, after which they worked in squares — four by two. Then the field players were divided into three groups with neutrals.

The main task of this part of the training was ball possession. Later, groups worked in game series with tactical assignments and, of course, finishing.

At the end of the training, there was individual work on offensive and defensive playing lines.

Tomorrow's events ahead of the friendly match Germany — Ukraine, which will take place in Nuremberg on June 3rd, will be somewhat unusual. Due to heavy rain, organizers of the match decided to preserve the pitch at the "Max Morlock" stadium, so all media events will take place elsewhere. The press conference with the head coach and a player from the Ukrainian national team will take place in the headquarters of the company "Adidas" in Herzogenaurach (start — 14:30). Training for the blue-and-yellow team will begin at 6:00 PM on the field of the club "Eltersdorf" in Erlangen. The first 15 minutes will be open to media.
