To whom is a tennis ball, and to whom is a fartleck? To begin with, head coach Andrei Shevchenko gathered a team in the center circle, telling about the nature of today's work. After a total warm-up the team divided into groups. The players, who played on Sunday, and the majority of them, immediately formed threes and twos for playing tennis-ball..
At the same time, four players who did not play yesterday, or played very little (Rakytskyy, Zinchenko, Sidorchuk and Artem Kravets) for 15 minutes were engaged under the guidance of physical training coach Ivan Bashtovy. Running work, which included four minutes Fartlek (interval running at a different pace), was designed to maintain the functional state of the players who did not have sufficient playing load.
After that, the foursome divided into two duos and th “hit” the ball over the net.
Two Kravets and six more legionnaires After the departure of the injured Buyalsky and Besedin and the joining of Artem Kravets, whom Andriy Shevchenko did in the Kiev camp of the national team today, 16 players.

Rest for Yarmolenko Andrey Yarmolenko did not participate in today's training.
One of the leaders of the national team requires a little rest due to the tone of the muscle drive. Yarmolenko has been playing a painkiller for a long time, so two or three days of individual training will allow his body to get the necessary relaxation in order to approach the League of Nations match with the Czech Republic in combat readiness..
Tomorrow morning, the national team will leave the capital hotel Alfavito to 12. 20 fly to the first destination - the capital of the Italian province of Liguria - Genoa.
