From the early morning it was cloudy and it seemed it was possible to touch the overcast. There’s nothing weird about that as Interalpen hotel is located 1300 meters above the seas level and training ground – 1100 meters.
Through the day sometimes it was even impossible to see tops of mountains that surround the pitch.
Morning exercises for all grounds of muscles
On Friday FC Dynamo Kyiv had two training sessions. In the morning it all started with strength exercises for different grounds of muscles. Administrators arranged a kind of six checkpoints players had to go through. At first it was necessary to crouch on one leg holding grips, then – to jump on a small trampoline and land also on one leg etc.
Goalkeepers had their own program while other players were overcoming obstacles.
It’s good news that Olexandr Shovkovskyi worked with the rest of the team.
The second part of the training session included tactical exercises for defense and attacking actions.
Defenders worked under the charge of Serhiy Fedorov and Raul Riancho.
Meanwhile midfielders and strikers created attacks. Goalkeepers took part in this exercise in turn.
With the ball in the rain
Evening training session was accompanied by rain.
After warm-up players were divided into two groups and played a kind of rugby to train the ball control.
From time to time everyone gathered in the same zone and played 9x9 mini-matches.
Soon goalkeepers joined outfield players.
