Working out the structure of the game in the context of preparation for a specific opponent - this part of the work always occupies a prominent place during the training camp of the national team.

In the morning, the coaches held tactical classes, dividing the players by links. In this process, intellectual work prevailed. Of course, there was no movement, because thinking in the field should always be in the dynamics, in addition, the autumn freshness and light breeze do not allow you to stand still.

However, footballers always want to practice more with the ball, so the four Yarmolenko, Zinchenko, Yaremchuk and Shakhov used a few minutes after the morning training to play "two touches". To stop the traditional "challenge", Andrea Mulderi had to take the ball from the fierce "debaters" - yet the cold season forces you to be vigilant to avoid hypothermia. This gesture of the coach was received by the guys with understanding and good humor - concentration on training does not harm the positive atmosphere in the team.

The players will have more work with the ball in the evening training, which, like the morning one, will take place at the Kharkiv stadium "Sunny". During this lesson, the collections will implement the tactical lessons learned in the morning. By the way, tomorrow's official pre-match training will also take place at the "Sunny", which during the collection of the blue-yellows has the status of their main training field. Thus, the teams will return to Metalist, where the national team held an open training session yesterday, on October 11 to play a qualifying match with Lithuania on the field of the Kharkiv arena.
