After the training session, Dynamo defender Oleksandr Syrota spoke about the team's preparations for the away match against Cherkasy LNZ, which will take place on Saturday, 23 September:
Oleksandr Syrota (photo: Yuriy Yuriev)- What do you know about your opponents and how do you prepare for them?
- Of course, we analyse each team and prepare for them. We know how they play, but we don't adapt to anyone, we will play our football, as always.
- You will play three matches next week, does such a busy schedule affect your preparations?
- We are ready for this, because we played in this mode when we played in the Conference League qualifiers. Therefore, I think this is not a problem for us.
- What did you focus on during the training?
- On physical activity, because Mircea Lucescu says that we must be in good shape all the time, in particular because we have three matches ahead in a short period of time, and everyone must be ready for it.
- Children were watching your training session. Do you remember being the same age and watching your idols train?
- Of course, when I came to the base and saw the first team training, it was just "Wow!" for me. I always wanted to get an autograph and take a picture with famous players. Now we are already signing autographs and taking pictures with children ourselves.
- Two U-19 defenders took part in the training session. Did you give them any tips?
- Of course, because we were ourselves. We all make suggestions - both players and coaches. The guys accept and understand everything, so everything is fine.
