Dynamo Kyiv continues its preparations for the second part of the season at the training camp in Turkey. The day after the third control game of the training camp, in which the White and Blues defeated Uzbek champion Pakhtakor 5-1, Oleksandr Shovkovskyi's team held one training session on the green lawn.
This training session was more of a recovery one: the coaching staff did not burden the training with tactical or gruelling physical exercises, instead offering interesting competitive games that were more focused on individual technical qualities.
After jogging, Dynamo players performed a set of core exercises on fitness mats. Then the field players and goalkeepers trained separately.
The training of the field players began with a header competition, during which the goalkeepers were those players who had just scored a goal and immediately defended the goal. Some of them showed good reaction.
Then the coaching staff offered the players a mini-competition. Divided into two teams, they had to shoot from 16 metres into a small goal. The task was complicated by the fact that the ball was not supposed to touch the ground, and they had to kick with more than just their kicking foot. This competition caused a lot of excitement and emotion among the players.
Then the teams competed in a game on a limited area and with a limited number of touches, but they again had to score goals in small goals, but this time each team had four goals.
The training session ended with one of the players' favourite exercises - tennisball. Once again, emotions and passions were raging on the field.
The goalkeepers had been training separately all this time. Today, Mikhail Mikhailov had six goalkeepers at his disposal - two goalkeepers of the youth team, Vyacheslav Surkis and Yuri Avramenko, joined the main team.
The goalkeepers also had an emotional training session, as the more experienced goalkeepers - Georgii Bushchan, Ruslan Neshcheret and Valentyn Morgun - competed with their younger colleagues - Denys Ihnatenko, Yurii Avramenko and Viacheslav Surkis. In the end, experience, which is known to be extremely important in the goalkeeping profession, won out.
