Serhiy Rebrov's wards continue preparing for the League of Nations playoff matches against Belgium, which will take place on March 20 in Murcia and on March 23 in Ghent. To ensure normal training processes, up to today, players from Ukraine's youth national team have been working with the main national team.

Their impressions of these joint sessions were shared by young players Boris Krushynskyi, Georgiy Yermakov, and Igor Krasnopіr.

"Today there was a high-intensity two-sided game. It's very pleasant for me to be here. The nerves when playing with older teammates are always there, but they supported us, so it passed. I'm really happy to train with the main team. This is a great honor for me because every football player dreams of this. I am very grateful to the coaching staff for inviting me to these training sessions where I could feel the level of the national team," said Boris Krushynskyi.

"I made one save today. Bykalskyi wanted to score. I can't remember the others... Participating in this camp is a priceless experience for us. Some of the boys have been here before, but it's my first time. It's hard to overestimate how much you can feel the level of the national team here. You want to be part of it one day as a full-fledged player," added Georgiy Yermakov.

"This is truly a massive experience, one of the most valuable in my life. I'm really happy to be here, to have the opportunity to train, play a match, and feel what it's like. Only the most positive emotions because this is the highest level of football mastery in Ukraine. I'll go back to the youth team with elevated spirits, very happy. I will prepare for friendly matches against Poland and Slovenia," summed up Igor Krasnopіr.

We remind you that players from Ukraine's youth national team worked with the main national team as follows: goalkeepers: Ruslan Nescheret ("Dynamo" Kyiv), Georgiy Yermakov ("Oleksandria"); defenders: Taras Mykhavko, Kostiantyn Vychcharenko (both — "Dynamo" Kyiv); midfielders: Boris Krushynskyi ("Polesia" Zhmerynka), Oleksandr Yatsyk ("Zorya" Luhansk), Valentyn Rubchinsky, Volodymyr Bражko, Maksym Bragaru (all — "Dynamo" Kyiv); forward: Igor Krasnopіr ("Karpaty" Lviv).
