Next Sunday, 5 May, Dynamo Kyiv will play a match in the capital on Matchday 27 of the Ukrainian Premier League against Kolos Kovalivka. The day after the postponed match against Veres Rivne (3-0), which took place last Wednesday, the White and Blues switched to preparing for the next match. On 2 and 3 May, Oleksandr Shovkovskyi's team had a similar schedule. Having traditionally gathered at the club's country club base in Vita-Litovska, the players held one training session each. In particular, on Friday, the White and Blues started training on the green pitch.
The head coach traditionally gathered the team in a semicircle, addressed the players and outlined the tasks and goals for today's training session. It lasted about an hour and a half and was focused on game drills and ball handling. Almost all the players took part in it, with the exception of Oleksandr Tymchyk, Kristian Bilovar and Vladyslav Supryaga, who have minor health problems and will return to training without restrictions in the near future.
First, the players did an active warm-up on the green lawn, performing various tasks and exercises with the ball, as well as acceleration. The coaches used chips in this part of the work. After that, it was time to work with the ball. The boys were divided into several groups, which were constantly changing, and worked on the development and completion of attacks and the interaction between the attacking players.
Then the Dynamo players moved on to the game series, which was the main part of the training session. They played across the full width of the pitch, but at a slightly shorter length - a large goal was set up on the penalty area line. In addition, the exercise involved two small goals on each side.
Each successful action of the players or a ball scored in the big or small goal was accompanied by approving and encouraging shouts from the partners, which added positive emotions to the activity. Two goalkeepers were involved, while the rest worked separately with coach Mykhailo Mykhailov.
At the end of the training session, the team traditionally worked on completing attacks. The ball was played on different flanks, followed by the defender's beat and shots on goal from different distances.
On Saturday morning, the Dynamo players will have a training session at the base, a theoretical lesson, lunch and rest, after which the team will have an evening training session and spend the night at the base on the eve of the match. On the day of the game, after breakfast, the players will gather for a pre-match training session and travel to the Dynamo Lobanovsky Stadium, where the match will take place. As a reminder, the Dynamo vs Kolos match will kick off at 15:30.
