“After Lobanovsky, heavy loads in other teams seemed very light. When I arrived at one of the Russian clubs, where the former Spartak player was the coach, he always gave the maximum load on the day of the salary. Before the first salary, the boys said: "Today it will be like this... But be patient, you have to endure."

When the training started, I can see that they are barely doing it. And I do it with 70% of the effort, that is, another 30% of the stock remained. This is about the kind of physical training we underwent with Lobanovsky. These loads were required and helped us a lot. At their expense, we won many matches. Under Lobanovsky, Dynamo had the best results in Europe,” Samoilov said.
