Prior to the match against Poltava, the White and Blues are working in a one-off training regime, which usually begins with a fitness session in the fitness room.
Friday's session was no exception and also started with stretching in the gym. After exchanging news, the Dynamo players got down to work in a good mood, following the instructions of their physical training coach Oleksandr Vasyliev, who made sure that the players warmed up well before taking to the pitch. The players performed stretching exercises using fitness mats and rubber bands.
The warm-up continued on the football pitch. Despite the rain, which only subsided slightly towards the middle of the training session, the players worked hard. After a short jog and warm-up, it was time for the game exercises. Divided into groups, the Dynamo players worked out various combinations. The tasks given by the coaching staff changed, and the goal was moved to different distances. Our players worked on controlling and selecting the ball, as well as on the accuracy of shots on goal.
Two goalkeepers were involved in the games, while the other two trained separately with goalkeeping coach Mikhail Mikhailov, switching after a while. In the final part of the training, the coaches used the goalposts in the work of our team.
On Saturday morning, the players will have a traditional training session at the base, a theoretical session and a training session, after which the team will travel to Poltava by bus. Upon arrival at the hotel, the Dynamo players will have dinner and rest.
On the day of the game, after breakfast, the players will gather for a pre-match training session and travel to the Butovskyi Stadium, where the match will take place. As a reminder, the Vorskla vs Dynamo match will kick off at 15:30.
Immediately after the game, the team is scheduled to return to Kyiv. On Thursday, 4 April, they will play another match of the Ukrainian championship - the postponed match of the 6th round against Luhansk's Zorya.
