Dynamo Kyiv U19 defender Denys Dykyi shared his impressions from the first days of the training camp in Turkey.
- Of course at the beginning of any training camp it’s always very physically demanding. But we came back from the break on January 6 so we’re gradually getting into rhythm. We then flew to Turkey for the camp where conditions and pitches are very good - in short, everything is in place for full preparation so all is well.
- Young players are also involved in the camp. How would you assess the level of competition and are there any contenders for your position among them?
- Yes, there are but we try to give more advice to new players so they can adapt more quickly to the rhythm, get used to our team, not worry too much and feel comfortable. Overall guys are training well and giving their best - they’re doing a good job.
- What goals have the coaching staff set for you for this training camp?
- We need to reach optimal physical condition in order to prepare for the UEFA Youth League and approach the second half of the youth championship in good shape so that we can defend our championship title and keep winning.
