This afternoon, the national team gathered in the center of Kiev - at the Opera Hotel, where the blue and yellows were preparing for the previous winning game for them - against Portugal.

Therefore, the meeting with the teammates was doubly pleasant for the boys, because the team returned to the Opera after the historic victory on October 14 - for a joint team dinner.

But for whom pleasant victorious emotions in the camp of the main team of the country are still unknown, so it is for the newcomer of the national team Dmitry Ivanisen, who appeared in the hotel lobby as one of the first. Well, there will be more time to adapt - both to the requirements and to the atmosphere.
