Even though FC Dynamo Kyiv morning training session started not very early (at 10:30) the White-Blues were the first team to arrive at the football center. The weather was warm and sunny, so players had to squint taking the field.
Coaching staff prepared a lot of interesting exercises for our performers. Training pitch looked like assault course due to lots of different equipment.
Players were divided into four groups. Each of them worked separately. For example while Betao pulled back by special rope was trying to hit the small target Oleh Husiev eluded cones and practiced head-playing. Next to them Lens did squats with bar-bell, jumped over several barriers and unleashed shots on goal after passed from Serhiy Fedorov. The task was to hit the corner.
Newcomer Vitorino Antunes has also joined the main group. It seems he’s really willing to approve himself. It’s obvious that he lacks mutual understanding with teammates, but that’s about timing. He mostly tries to follow Miguel, who helps his compatriot.
The second part of training session was devoted to work on defense and attack.
In the afternoon Kyivans focused on tactical exercises. At first players were divided into two teams and practiced ball control. After that they used their skills in mini-match.
Meanwhile those, who didn’t take part in that kind of exercises, mastered shots on target from different positions.
It should be mentioned that Dynamo sparring against FC Astra Giurgiu will take place not at MarbellaFootballCenter, but in the neighboring town of San Pedro. The game will start at On February 6 at 17:00 (Kyiv time). You can follow that match live on Dynamo Kyiv YouTube channel.
