FC Dynamo Kyiv defender Maxym Diachuk has told about preparations for the second part of the season and his new position as right back:
- Our second training camp includes a lot of games. Soon we’ll be fit enough to start the second part of the season. I’m feeling good. I guess I’ll be in a good shape soon.
- The team has already played a lot of friendlies. Which one did you like the most?
- Each one was difficult in a way. I can’t pick one, they were all good.
- Dynamo beat Liepaja, but then drew against Shkendija. What was the problem?
- I’m not sure, we’ll have a theory class to figure it out.
- You have a lot of theory classes. What do you focus on?
- We focus on our mistakes. Coaches explain what we do right and what is wrong.
- You often play as a right back at the training camp. Is this something new for you?
- It is, but coaches see me in this position and I’m happy to play.
- How does it differ from playing as center back?
- It’s tough as I’m not used to such kind of work. But I’ll be doing my best to do things right. Sometimes I just can’t deal with this rhythm.
- Serhiy Fedorov has joined the coaching staff. What kind of advice does he give you?
- He tells us how to pass, how to move, how to do stuff fast.
- How do you personally recover and what do you do in your spare time?
- Every day I have a nap after a training session. After the second one I go to a SPA. Besides, we have an ice barrel to dive in or do a “game ready exercise”. We also use lymphatic drainage pants. All procedures are available and we use those to recover.
- How did the team support Kristian Bilovar after his injury?
- Everyone was really scared. We all supported him. I hope he’ll get well soon.
