- Are you totally satisfied with Marbella Football Center infrastructure? What is the turf quality like?
- Sure, we’re satisfied. This isn’t the first year we come here and we are familiar with local infrastructure and staff. They give us everything we need and respect us. It’s very important. Weather is also favorable here, besides we have a wide range of sparrings.
- What are players’ physical conditions like after vacation?
- Nothing can be perfect. Not all of our players have fulfilled individual training programs they got for vacation, so they should catch up. I hope at the first training camp we’ll cope with that and at the second we’ll start getting ready for forthcoming official fixtures.
- Still the team’s already working without any restrictions…
- We’ve never had restrictions. We have a plan and I hope we’ll fulfill it by the end of the pre season period. Players work intensively. We have the aim we want to achieve. Everyone knows how important that is.
People in Ukraine are really looking forward to this game (against Manchester City FC) as they’re looking forward to domestic league start.
- Will there be any innovations at this training camp?
- We always introduce some innovations. We analyze players’ conditions and know what we should work on. I guess every coach knows one can’t just copy plan of previous training camps.
- Does the team need enforcement considering that Belhanda and Kravets have left?
- Official matches will answer this question. I hope youngsters, who’ve joined the team, will become our enforcement. They have necessary skills and willingness to work. I think they have good future.
Our youth team has qualified for the UEFA Youth League play-off. This team also has promising performers. I’m sure Dynamo mustn’t rely only on one or two players.
- They say Jeremain Lens can return to Dynamo…
- Lens wanted to feature in better league. I don’t think he wants to come back. Anyway our club isn’t interested in this transfer. Jeremain is a good guy, but he’s chosen his own way and he likes Premier League.
- When will players start getting ready for matches against Manchester City FC?
- At every theory class we get players ready for these matches. We’ll definitely watch some Citizens’ games live. We realize we’ll oppose very good team. We must do our best at every training session and then we’ll see what happens.
