Serhii Rebrov closed the training of the national team of Ukraine before the match with Slovakia at Euro-2024
The head coach of the Ukrainian national team, Serhiy Rebrov, decided to hold one of the team's last training sessions before the match against Slovakia at the 2024 European Championship without the presence of journalists. He took advantage of the rule that allows one session per tournament without the presence of the media.
Preparation without prying eyes is important
All 26 players registered for the Euro took part in the training session. Special attention was paid to the creation and implementation of scoring chances. Football players played combinations in a limited time with a mandatory completion.
Vitaliy Mykolenko's health remains questionable
There is no clear information about the state of health of the main left defender Vitaly Mykolenko, who recently started working with the ball after an injury received in a sparring match with Moldova. His participation in the upcoming match remains in question.
Concentration on the upcoming match
All the players are fully focused on the confrontation with the Slovaks, which will take place on Friday, June 21. The coaching staff does everything possible to ensure that the team approaches the game in optimal form.
Scandal surrounding the national team
On the eve of the meeting, a scandal broke out around the Ukrainian national team, related to the Russian fitness model Violetta Grachova and midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk. This situation caused a great resonance in the media, but the team tries not to be distracted from the preparation for the match.
Emotional background in the team
After the crushing defeat by Romania in the first match of Euro-2024, the mood in the team's dressing room was not the best. Ukrainian national team midfielder Volodymyr Brazhko shared how the daily attacks on the country's cities by the occupiers affect the players.
"It is very difficult, but we are trying to remain strong and focused on football. For us, every match is not only a sporting event, but also an opportunity to show the world the strength and spirit of Ukraine," Brazhko said.
Conclusions and forecasts
Closing the training of the national team of Ukraine may be a strategic step to preserve tactical secrets before the important match with Slovakia. Despite internal and external difficulties, the team is determined to win and is ready to demonstrate its best football at Euro-2024.
