The second stage of Shakhtar’s pre-season preparation got underway
It’s nothing but exotica
In Dubai, the Miners stayed at one of the city’s best hotels The Meydan Hotel. The hotel, apart from first-class accommodation, is also remarkable for its own racecourse, where they regularly hold horse and camel races.
After breakfast, Shakhtar players took the bus and set off for the training complex Nad Al Sheba located a few kilometres from the main location.
Perfect weather
It has been fine in Dubai since morning, without wind, +25 – comfortable conditions for quality preparation. As usual, the training session of the Donetsk side started with a half-hour stay at the fitness facility. After exercises on the simulators, the Orange-and-Blacks moved to the field, where they paid attention to working with the balls for another 90 minutes. Maksym Malyshev, Ivan Ordets and Dodo train individually. We remind you that the two latter were injured at the training camp in Turkey. After lunch and rest, Shakhtar will continue preparations for the season’s restart.
- Time lag is felt, - says Shakhtar defender Sergii Kryvtsov. - I think it will take a few more days for the body to adapt to time lag and get acclimated. Today we woke up around six in the morning Kyiv time, and at seven we left for a training session. We train in an intensive mode. We worked hard at the fitness centre, before performing many playing exercises on the field. We are not used to the weather yet, it's hard to breathe, but we will quickly get used to this.
