- How was your flight to UAE?
- It was quite long – about five hours. Upon the arrival we had a session and about 10 p.m. we had free time.
- Do quarantine restrictions influence the training process?
- Not really. Well, we wear masks at the hotel and we did COVID-19 tests at the airport.
- At the morning session Mircea Lucescu pointed up the initial phase of attacks. Could you please tell about that?
- At first we did a warm-up and played in squares. Then defenders and forwards worked separately. Defenders were mostly focused on tactics issues.
- Mircea Lucescu doesn’t use a whistle. Do players understand what he wants?
- Yes, we do. He explains everything very clearly. If someone fails to do something, he stops the session and shows how to do it properly. I really like to work under the charge of Mircea Lucescu as he’s very experienced coach.
- Isn’t it impressive that your coach is still in great shape?
- Sure! Lucescu can even show how to deal with the ball or elude opponent.
- How hard is it to get accustomed to training process after vacation?
- Training camps are always difficult, but we worked individually during vacation, so we’re more or less ready.
- Has Mircea Lucescu announced the plan for the first training camp?
- It has been said we’ll mostly focus on attacks start which is the aspects we have problems with.
