On Monday, the players had a day off, and from the next day they returned to training. Before the away match with the Poltavans, the "white-blue" team is training in a regime of single sessions, which usually begin with fitness exercises in the fitness hall.
The training on Wednesday was no exception and also began with stretching in the gym. The Dynamo players entered the training with good spirits, clearly following the instructions of the fitness coaches, who carefully monitored that the players warmed up all muscle groups before going onto the field. The footballers performed stretching exercises using fitness mats, rubber bands, rollers, fitballs, and other auxiliary equipment.
After completing all the necessary exercises, Dynamo coach Oleksandr Shovkovskyi gathered the players together and outlined the training plan, paying particular attention to various details, specifics, and nuances that were important in working out certain components.
The warm-up continued on the football field. The recent warming, positive temperature, and good, clear, and sunny weather in the capital contributed to the intense and productive work of the footballers. After a brief run and exercises in squares, it was time for game series. There were several, each with its own goal and aimed at refining elements that will be needed by Dynamo in the upcoming game against Vorskla.
Divided into groups, the Dynamo players eagerly and passionately performed the tasks set by the coaching staff. The conditions to be adhered to were diverse and constantly changing, with certain restrictions introduced during passing tasks. Goals of different sizes were used, which were moved to different distances.
As for the goalkeepers, they initially worked separately with goalkeeper coach Mykhailo Mykhailov, and then they participated in the game series.
On Thursday morning, the players will have a traditional gathering at the base for a medical check-up, theoretical training, and practice. On game day, after breakfast and other traditional morning activities, the footballers will gather for a pre-match briefing and head to the Dynamo stadium named after V. Lobanovskyi, where the match will take place. Recall that the match between Vorskla and Dynamo will start at 15:30.
