After a long separation (six months after the victory in Bosnia), there was something to talk about with the boys - both about the war and about football. Warm hugs from friends, friendly jokes, mutual support - and get to work!

Already during the exercises in the gym, the guys actively watched the decisive matches of the English Premier League, in which "Manchester City" Alexander Zinchenko competed in absentia for the championship with "Liverpool". When the first half of the match with "Aston Villa" ended with the defeat of "Citizens", it was noticeable that the guys are a little worried about the result. Although all as one confidently said that Zinchenko will be a replacement, and "City" will win. Finally and so it happened - In the second half, Sasha came on the field, gave a goal pass, and his team, making an impressive comeback, won the fourth championship in five years.

This news was announced to the boys by the senior administrator Oleksandr Kistkin during the break of the game sessions. She made everyone very happy. After the championship of Oleksandr Zubkov with Ferencvaros, Andriy Lunin with Real Madrid and Eduard Sobol with Bruges, this is the fourth winner of the European Championship as part of the Blue and Yellows this season.

As for the work on the field, today after the warm-up the guys played in the square, after which they practiced their actions in defense and attack. The main part of the lesson was devoted to the development of tactical models in game series. In the final period of the preparatory training camp, the coaching staff will focus on this, as the game with Scotland is a little more than a week away.
