VIDEO. Diary of the Ukrainian team. The arrival of Sobol, the return of Shaparenko

May 28 joined the national team of Ukraine Eduard Sobol. The player, who won the Belgian championship with Brugge this season, was delayed for a few days as the club waited for the England visa opened for him.

The deadline predicted by the Brussels visa center did not come true, so we had to wait, but the main thing is that Eduard is already at the national team camp: he arrived at the Elegance Hotel before lunch and was in time for a theoretical lesson:

“I am very happy that I finally came to the national team. I met the guys with great joy – I miss them so much! I’m just happy to be here again! There is no time to get involved in the process, so I’m ready to immediately participate in training. As I see it, all the boys are in a good mood and well they are in such situations, so the desire to show themselves goes off the scale.

The lunch theory was devoted to the analysis of the two-sided game played by the team on May 26: the coaching staff analyzed the situation of the implementation of the program of preparation for the match with the Scots.

Eduard Sobol became the 25th player of the current blue-yellow squad. we are just waiting Andrey LuninThe one that should come after the Champions League final. In the evening training, as expected, the general group Nikolai Shaparenko. Complements an individual program Denis PopovUnder the supervision of doctors, he gradually increases physical activity so that he can return to teamwork in the near future.

During the training, the trainer Vyacheslav Ruzhentsev He set out primarily to cheer up players who were recovering after a 90-minute game. Teamwork and the feeling of the partner’s shoulder came to the fore in the relay races held by the men with and without the ball. Only a combination of these factors made it possible to achieve success in their group. There were also technical exercises for thinking fast.

After that, the team controlled the ball and performed tactical tasks in a game series format during the main part of the training. During these exercises, the work of the cardiovascular system is traditionally measured by simultaneous analysis of the level of speed and endurance developed by them, as well as the distance traveled by the players during the training. These data help evaluate how the body recovers after intense play and how ready it is to perceive the latest loads.

Sunday, May 29, will not be a day off at the national team camp: head coach Alexander Petrakov Two workouts scheduled. The guys watched the Champions League final, supported the team of Andrey Lunin (although there were Liverpool fans among them) and watched the performance of Andrew Robertson, the captain and leader of the Scottish team.
