The second day of the training camp, the national team began with individual classes in the gym, and ended with an open training session at the Metalist Stadium.

More than six thousand fans came to support the blue-yellows. The Ukrainian Football Association has prepared gifts for fans - in fact, every second received a mini-poster of the national team. The players presented their loyal fans with five dozen balls, knocking them out in the stands before and after training.

Immediately after arriving at Metalist, the head coach and players paid attention to the "children of the sun" (with Down syndrome), as well as the children of internally displaced persons. Such an action was organized by the Charitable Foundation "Development of Football of Ukraine" and UAF within the framework of the social project "Around Football".

And after the training, the players approached the stands for traditional autographs and selfies. The excitement was incredible - there was no physical opportunity to pay attention to everyone, but the collections appreciate the support and are very grateful to the Kharkiv audience for, without exaggeration, the hot atmosphere that prevailed tonight at Metalist.

For the lesson itself, it lasted about one and a half hours and was attended by 23 players. The only one who did a little jogging work tonight was Vitaliy Mykolenko, who had a micro trauma to the back thigh muscle. However, the chief physician of the blue and yellow Arthur Glushchenko assures that from tomorrow Mykolenko will be able to train with the whole team.

Tomorrow the national team will have a two-time training regime, and the day after tomorrow it will be a pre-game day. The match with Lithuania is getting closer.
