Dynamo Kyiv midfielder Nazar Voloshyn shared his impressions of the team's first training day after returning from vacation.
Nazar Voloshin- Congratulations on the first training day after the vacation. How was it, was it hard?
- In principle, everything went very well. We jogged, and part of the training session was devoted to passing. But, I confess, it was a bit hard.
- Did you manage to recuperate during the vacation?
- Yes, I have, and I'm getting back to work and preparing for the new season with renewed vigor.
- You had only two weeks of vacation. How much time did you devote to resting and when did you start following the program you were given for the vacation?
- I devoted about a week to a full rest, and then I started coming to the base and practicing with the guys - we took balls, kicked at the goal.
- Today, a lot of attention was paid to stretching exercises. How important are they in the first days after coming back from vacation?
- In fact, this is the basis. After the vacation, the muscles are not used to heavy loads, so such exercises are very useful to avoid unwanted injuries, bruises, and generally reduce the risk of injury.
- You had a shorter vacation than the other partners because you played with the Olympic team at the tournament in France. How useful was it in terms of preparing for the Games in Paris?
- In fact, everything was organized at a high level - good opponents, high-quality fields. Dynamo players, including me, took part in the first three matches, after which we left the team camp, as agreed in advance. In general, we played well and won, so in terms of preparing for the Olympics and gaining confidence, I think this tournament will only be a plus.
- You scored two goals in the tournament. Will they give you confidence for the future?
- Of course. Every goal gives you confidence. And I like to score, so I set myself up to spoil the goalkeepers' mood in every match (smiles).
- What are your expectations for the upcoming training days? Will it be hard to get involved?
- It will be difficult, but we are ready for the workload. We will work and prepare for the start of the championship and the Champions League qualifiers. We will do everything to be in the best possible shape for the official games.
