The Dynamo Kyiv training camp in Turkey is rapidly gaining momentum. Although, from the first day of the meeting, the "white and blue" got involved in the work to the maximum.
On the second working day, as on the first, Mircea Lucescu's team held two training sessions at the Mardan Sport Complex.
The morning took place in warm and sunny weather. However, this does not diminish the importance of the warm-up run and thorough warm-up conducted by Vitaly Kulyba. After her, the team began the main work, which, like the day before, began with short passes in pairs. Then the players practiced passing in different directions in small groups. Work with balls alternated with small running loading exercises. At that time, the goalkeepers worked under a separate program under the leadership of Mykhailo Mykhaylov.
Next, the whole team worked out combinations on one half of the field, with Mircea Lucescu stopping the training from time to time to correct the wrong actions of his wards and actively showing which direction each pass should go.
A busy morning session ended with shots on goal from outside the penalty area. However, not with kicks from the spot, but closer to match conditions - after combinations, during movement. At the same time, as always, there were both beautiful goals from field players and spectacular saves from goalkeepers, one of whom - Ruslan Nescheret - received congratulations on his birthday from the coaching staff and teammates before the start of training. Before the session, the players arranged a traditional "corridor of honor" for Ruslanov, and at the end - congratulations in the form of heavy shots on the goal, with most of which, however, he managed.
Before the start of the evening session, there was another greeting from the players - this time they took a photo with the national flag of Ukraine, thus congratulating Ukrainians on Sobornost Day, which is celebrated every year on January 22.
The evening session was also full of games and tactical exercises. Artem Besedin continues to be outside the main group. His return to the group is expected as early as next week. Also out of the training process is Benito, who suffered a micro-injury.
On Monday, the "white and blue" will have a morning training session in the hotel's fitness room, and in the evening they will return to the green lawn of the Mardan Stadium, after which they will be expected to recover.
Dynamo will play the first control match this year on Tuesday, January 24. The first sparring partner of our team will be Viennese "Rapid".
