News from the national team camp: birthdays, working week, Bezus victory
The team's two training sessions - yesterday evening and this morning - began with applause. In this way, players traditionally support the greetings of the head coach to the birthday. Yesterday this was Vladimir Shepelev, today - Alexander Karavaev.
Sunday Fridays
Applause and congratulations - this is probably the only moment of distraction from the focused and painstaking work that the team currently performs during training. Of course, there are still short pauses to take a breath between functional exercises and game series. But they also play a role in fulfilling the main task - purposeful preparation for qualifying matches with Serbia and Luxembourg.

In the afternoon, the teams will have time to rest and recuperate before the second training session on a non-holiday Sunday. The evening lesson will take place on the field of Metalist Stadium. Before it starts, head coach Andriy Shevchenko will talk to the media at 17.30 pm.
Champions League and Tsygankov's sympathy
Like the rest of the football world, yesterday the blue and yellows watched the finals of the Champions League. Many players came to watch the game on the big screen unfolded in the hall, which the team uses for theoretical classes. Most players are known from the report for the UAF YouTube channel, supported Liverpool or simply made a prediction in its favor. However, there were those who wanted to win "Tottenham".

For example, Viktor Tsygankov liked Spurs' performance this season, and in the final he sympathized with Mauricio Pochettino's team. But, in the end, the defeat of the London midfielder of the Ukrainian national team was not particularly upset, because his main game priorities are related to other teams, and at the moment - with the national team. Meanwhile, the winner of the unofficial competition of forecasters in the national team was Roman Bezus, who accurately called the score of the final match - 2: 0 in favor of "Liverpool". The victory is purely moral, as the prize fund for the best soothsayer was not collected by the Vox populi participants.
