The senior and U19 teams of FC Dynamo Kyiv have completed their winter training camp in Turkey and returned to Kyiv where they will continue preparations for the second half of the domestic season.
During a month of work on the Mediterranean coast the first team went through an intensive training cycle that included double daily sessions, theoretical classes and series of friendly matches. In total “White-Blues” recorded six wins, one draw and one defeat with an overall goal difference of 22:8.
Friendly match results:
January 20: Dynamo – Korona Kielce (Poland) – 0:0
January 25: Dynamo – FC Malisheva (Kosovo) – 8:1
January 30: Dynamo – FK Kauno Žalgiris (Lithuania) – 0:1
February 5: Dynamo – Veres Rivne – 3:2
February 9: Dynamo – FC Kudrivka – 2:1
February 9: Dynamo – FC Iberia 1999 (Georgia) – 2:0
February 14: Dynamo – FC Zimbru Chișinău – 5:3
February 14: Dynamo – RFS (Riga) – 2:0
These friendlies allowed the coaching staff to assess the players’ physical condition, fine-tune tactical options and provide match practice for both experienced performers and young prospects.
Dynamo’s U19 side also had a productive camp in Turkey. The youth team played several friendlies, working on team chemistry and preparing for the resumption of their competitions. On February 4 the team coached by Pavlo Cherednichenko played in the UEFA Youth League Round of 32 where “White-Blues” were defeated 2:6 by Atlético Madrid.
After returning to the capital - with the journey home passing through Chișinău - both teams will continue their direct preparations for official matches at the club’s training base in Vita-Lytovska.
Dynamo’s next match will take place on Friday, February 20. In the Ukrainian Premier League the Kyiv side will host Rukh Lviv at the Valeriy Lobanovskyi Dynamo Stadium (kick-off at 18:00).
