Russia U18 held a training session at the Chizhovka Arena

In preparation for the three upcoming friendly matches against Belarus U18, the under 18 Russian national team held a training session at the Chizhovka Arena in Minsk.

The matches will be staged on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of September, all scheduled to begin at 13:00 local time. Live broadcasts will be provided here on fhr.ru.

Russia U18 forward Igor Chernyshov:

- After leaving Novogorsk at six in the morning, we travelled here and had a rest in the hotel before training. We're continuing to prepare for our matches against Belarus. We are feeling great, we've all missed each other in the national team. We are happy that we have the opportunity to play in three consecutive games. We have to work on our special teams, our odd-man rushes and our defensive play. International games always come with a lot of responsibility.
