The head coach of "Shakhtar U-19" Oleksiy Belyk explained why the youth championship match with Dynamo U-19 will not take place in Shchaslyve near Kyiv, but in the capital itself.
Oleksiy Belyk (photo: shakhtar.com)— First of all, we have a situation with the field, which is currently unsuitable for full-fledged training. We strive to play technical football, build the game through quality passing, quick ball work, decision-making in dynamics, and it is simply impossible to implement these things on such a pitch. It’s hard for the players to do what the coaching staff requires.
Therefore, together with the management, a decision was made: the field will be completely redone. As long as the work is underway, we will temporarily hold training at "Arsenal Arena". Although, probably, the surface there will also be updated over time. As for the match days, as long as we have the opportunity and the main team is in Lviv, we will play our matches at the USB "Svyatoshyn", — quotes Belyk the official website of the Donetsk team.
