Ukraine's Squad Hones Skills Before the Epic Iceland Match
Yesterday, on March 24th, Team Ukraine stuck to their well-honed routine. Morning was all about theory, while the evening called for action on the field. It was a full squad session, with every summoned athlete kicking in. Post-warm-up, they got down to the nitty-gritty with Head Coach Sergiy Rebrov leading the charge. They polished more than tactics - penalty shots got their fair share at the tail end of practice.
Fast forward to today, March 25th, and the 'Blue and Yellow' delegation is setting off to Wroclaw. They'll pitch their camp in the quaint town of Trzebnica. At 18:30, it's showtime for an official training session, with a 15-minute sneak peek for the press.
