Our national team started the pre-game day in Kyiv with a traditional morning walk.

The sunny warmth and bright colors of Indian summer made the promenade from the Opera Hotel to the National Opera of Ukraine and vice versa very pleasant.

For almost an hour, the boys walked leisurely through the center of Kyiv, which on Sunday, in the absence of people and cars, brings one pleasure - and breathes easily, and conversations do not sink into the rumble of cars. After the walk - another mandatory item of the work program of the collections, a theoretical lesson, which is known to be well received after time spent in the air.

In the evening, the blue and yellows held an official training session on the field of NSC "Olympic". The first 15 minutes of the "dress rehearsal" were watched by more than 100 representatives of the Ukrainian and Portuguese media.

After completing the open part, the team focused on working out the game and tactical tasks that will come before it tomorrow.

Visually, it seems that the boys have already recovered from the game in Kharkiv: all 24 performers took part in the training today, each of whom showed enthusiasm for the fight and readiness to prove to the coaching staff the legitimacy of their claims to the match with the Portuguese. In any case, Andriy Shevchenko will name the starting lineup tomorrow, after careful consideration. However, we can already say that the mood inside the team is combative. Everyone understands how important the game awaits the national team of Ukraine tomorrow.
