“The defender talked about the beginning of training sessions”, — write: sport.ua
– How do you feel after the first training sessions at the meeting? Looks like the mood is good?
– Yes, everything is great. The first two days have already passed, of course, they are difficult, because before that we rested. Now the workload has started, plus there were tests this morning. I understand that it is necessary, so you just have to endure and accept it, because then during the second part of the season it will be a plus for us. And the mood is good, because we have been training for two days, and our team won for two days (smiles).
– During these two days, did you notice any difference from the previous meeting, because this is far from the first winter meeting with Dynamo for you. This time, for the first time, the preparation will be extended for a month and a half?
– The difference is that this time we gathered early. The situation is that we still have two official games in the Europa League in January, which is a bit unusual. And as for the load, nothing special, it is what it should be in the first days, gradually increasing little by little.
– You played a mini-tournament with the participation of four teams and won, so you say that you are in a good mood. And how is the general mood of the team? Losers don’t like him very much?
– Such competitions add a little emotion to training, and in general, the mood is working, because everyone understands that there is a time when you rest, and there is a time when you have to work, and work fruitfully, complete all tasks, plus functionally raise yourself to a higher level , so that later in the official games the physical condition was very, very strong.
– The meetings will last for a month and a half, how do the relatives endure such long separations? How do you communicate, what do you do to feel closer?
– In such periods it is always difficult, because you are far from home. Especially when there is a war in our country, and our cities are being bombed, of course, every day we are very worried, because we cannot help from afar. Of course, you want the family to go abroad too, but the children are studying, and you just don’t want to go anywhere.
Of course, we talk several times every day by video, I calm down more or less when I see that everything is fine with the family. If we have a weekend, I want the family to come so that we can spend at least a few days together.
– So far, you have two training sessions every day, do you have time for anything else? What do you do at the hotel?
– Restoration. Between workouts is sleep to rest, because when you sleep, the body recovers best. Therefore, it is necessary to devote a lot of time to it. So recovery and communication with the family. There is not enough time for anything else.
