Artem Shabanov: “So far we work on stamina, at the training camp we’ll focus on tactics”

- Artem, where did you spend your vacation?

- I spent ten days in the Maldives with my girlfriend. Upon the return I did individual work. Besides I played football with my friends.

- Have you had enough physical and emotional rest?

- Sure, a month is quite enough to have rest. Besides we have two vacations a year unlike some other leagues.

- How are your first working days at the training complex?

- This is our third day after vacation. We have two sessions a day, so we get a bit tired, but that’s okay.

- What do you mostly work on?

- So far we work on stamina and do exercises with the ball. I guess at the training camp we’ll work more intensively with focus on tactics.

- This year the first training camp will take place in UAE. Have you been there?

- No, I haven’t, so it will be interesting.

- At today’s session there was an exercise, where you used four goals and had to play one-touch. Can you tell about it in detail?

- Well, three passes counted as goal, six – as two goals, ten – as three. Besides if we hit one target we couldn’t attack it after that. At first it was tough, but then we got used to it.

- Before the session Mircea Lucescu said players like to practice shots on target and attacks finishing, but so far the weather doesn’t let you do this…

- Sure, everyone likes that. Well, maybe goalkeepers don’t (laughing). So far we can’t do it, but we will at the training camp.
