FC Dynamo Kyiv defender Kostiantyn Vivcharenko has shared his impressions of the training camp with the first team and recalled the UEFA Youth League group stage.
- At the afternoon session Mircea Lucescu offered players interesting exercise including rugby, handball and other elements. Did you like it?
- Everyone did. That was a very positive experience which also helped us to warm up.
- Which kind of sports did you like the most?
- Rugby was definitely the toughest one. The most fun was the exercise when we carried each other on our backs. That was funny, but difficult.
- What are the first days of the training camp like? Are you tired?
- These first days are really tough. We have two sessions a day, so the exercise load is significant. Well, that’s what training camps are about. We must regain fitness.
- Are you looking forward to friendlies?
- Sure, everyone wants to play. We missed that.
- You’ve already had training camps with the first team. Don’t you think it’s a new chance, considering that the position of left back is vacant and competition starts from scratch?
- I always do my best to show what I’m capable of. Now that Vitaliy Mykolenko has left this position is vacant and the best one will take it.
- You also have unfinished business with Dynamo U19 – UEFA Youth League playoffs. Will you feature against Deportivo?
- I don’t know yet. I guess I will. It’s always great to perform in euro cups. Besides, we’re the only Ukrainian team left on European arena. If they tell me to play, I’ll be happy to do it.
- Which group stage game is the most memorable to you?
- They were all special, but the most memorable one is the away game against Bayern we won 4:0.
