FC Dynamo Kyiv midfielder Oleksandr Pikhalionok has shared his impressions of the training routine in Turkey.
- Every day of the training camp is tough, but we need to recondition and get ready for the first official game.
- Which part of the training camp is the hardest for you?
- The hardest part is training without the ball, running in circles. Practicing with the ball is different.
- You’re about the play the first friendly – against Magdeburg. How’s the team doing?
- We’re having significant exercise load, but that’s okay for the training camp.
- You’ve already done a number of tests including yo-yo. How’re you feeling?
- As always (laughing). If someone doesn’t know, yo-yo test is when you run as long as you can. I mean like until you fall. I ran for 13 minutes which is quite normal.
