On July 8 players gathered at Boryspil airport to leave for Austria.
As usually Kyivans were in the limelight. Kids asked for autographs and photos, older people wanted to know about Dynamo plans. Andriy Yarmolenko paid a couple of minutes to everyone in the waiting room. Artem Kravets gave interview to Football TV channel.
Considering that part of the team stayed in Austria our club decided not to order a big plane and took smaller Embraer 145. Danilo Silva smiled as he saw it as Embraer planes are one of the Brazil brand identities.
By the way Danilo Silva had another reason for joy as Facundo Bertoglio has rejoined Dynamo and he has someone to discuss latest news with. As for return of Benoit Tremoulinas, it was a good surprise for Younes Belhanda.
Speaking about other squad issues – defender Dmytro Ryzhuk and Vitaliys Yahodynskis will keep working with Dynamo-2. Ihor Kharatin has joined Ukraine U-19.
16-year-old Viktor Tsyhankov is to take the External independent testing to graduate high school. He’ll come to Austria in several days.
As the White-Blues arrived in Innsbruck the weather was much colder than in Kyiv.
At the hotel they met Lukman Haruna and Aleksandar Dragovic.
In the afternoon Dynamo will have a training session. On July 11 they’ll play friendly against RSC Anderlecht.
