VIDEO. Football fun from Petrakov. Team training in Slovenia
National Ukraine national team After returning from Germany on 13 May, he did his first training in Slovenia. Friday was a sunny day in Brdo and towards the weekend the number of tourists increased noticeably in the national park, giving the maximum pleasure of staying in a picturesque area with unmatched views.
Ukraine team Slovenia – not for tourism purposes, blue and yellow training is mainly in the evening. And the climatic feature of these skirts is that at 17 o’clock it begins to rain very often. The explanation is simple: steam comes out all day – in the evening it rains. This makes breathing easier and players work more pleasantly from congestion. Evening training began in anticipation of a heavy downpour: In the second half of the session, a menacing dark cloud hung over the mountains. However, even though it smelled of rain, even the players who like to stay and work individually, the cloud did not reach the football field until they finished their work.
Before the arrival of foreign players, whose lists are announced by the coach Alexander PetrakovThere are 22 players in the Slovenian training camp. Victor Tsygankov He waited for the team to return to Brdo and joined the general player group. Victor worked on equal footing with everyone in both practice and the series, scoring a spectacular goal from a narrow angle after circling the goalkeeper.
Same time Artem Dovbik worked under the supervision of the national team doctor Roman Zholobailyuk and physical education trainer Ivan Bashtovoy, doing exercises separately from the others. A few days of such work will help relieve the discomfort of the muscles of the forward legs. Meanwhile Alexey GutsulyakThe player, whose lateral knee ligament injury required two weeks to heal, left the national team camp while his team was in Germany.
The coach of the blue-yellows went to training “joy of football”, bearing in mind that in all training sessions the guys will work out technique, passing and control of the ball during the respective game exercises and series. Such events are aimed at cheering players up after a moral uplift and control match with Borussia M, which took place at a fairly high pace, taking a lot of physical and emotional strength.
The guys left the training a little exhausted, but in a good mood, the coaching staff achieved their goal. On May 14, the national team returns to a double training regimen.

Shevchenko made statements about the Ukraine-Sweden match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers
UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He talked about the match against the Swedish national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
“When we were drawn against Sweden we probably faced our toughest opponent. I have great respect for Swedish football, you have always had good national teams and great players.”
“It’s always difficult to face Scandinavian teams, even though you don’t qualify for the World Cup, because you have so much quality, character and identity. This is similar to us to some extent. I don’t think there are favourites. In the end it all depends on the details, the injury situation and the preparations,” said Shevchenko.
In case of victory, Ukraine will play with the winner of the Poland-Albania doubles for a ticket to the World Cup. Ukraine will play the final match at home on March 31, again conditionally.
In addition to the 12 teams that finished second in their groups, the 4 winners of the Nations League quartet will also participate in the play-offs. All 16 participants are divided into 4 paths. Each route will include a semi-final and a final. The semi-finals will be held on March 26, and the finals will be held on March 31, 2026.

UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He pointed out the significant financial costs of organizing the Ukrainian national team’s “home” matches outside the country.
“Hosting such meetings costs us an enormous amount of money and we are deprived of the opportunity to assemble a full stadium. In fact, the cost of a so-called home match at a neutral venue costs around five times more than a regular match.”
Our sponsors are located in a country where the struggle continues, so their financial resources are seriously limited.
I cannot approach the government with requests for additional funding.
We are forced to work tightly within the available budget and rely on the support of private donors, especially when it comes to social initiatives,” the UAF president told Dagens Nyheter.
During the current year, the Ukrainian national team played its official home matches in stadiums in Spain and Poland.

Head coach of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez He explained why Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play an important role in the national team.
– There is always a lot of talk around Cristiano Ronaldo. Why does he remain the undisputed starter for the Portuguese national team, even though he will soon be 41?
“It’s all about his attitude towards the profession.” We constantly evaluate three key factors: talent level, accumulated experience and the contribution a player can make to the national team.
Making the highest demands on himself for the benefit of the team allows the captain to maintain his place in the squad. His desire to be the best is passed on to his partners. “The 25 goals he scored in 30 matches as a striker confirms that his play brings tangible benefits to the national team,” he said.
