Shakhtar continue pre-season training in Kyiv. Today, the Miners have one training session

First innovations

Each coach has his own work organising vision and the rules to be followed by the team in training. For example, in the Shakhtar of Luis Castro, the coaches are the first to enter the pitch, followed by the players. Before the session, the Portuguese specialist shakes hands with each player personally. And one more novelty introduced with the arrival of Castro is the fact that it’s forbidden to touch footballs before the start of training.

Decision speed

80 minutes of intensive training involved playing exercises. Most of the time, the Miners worked with footballs, with the coach asking his men to enter challenges aggressively and make decisions immediately. The high speed of the ball between the players is one of the basic requirements of Luis Castro.

We want to note that Wellington Nem and Olarenwaju Kayode joined the team. The injured Andrii Totovytskyi trained individually.

Tomorrow morning, the Orange-and-Blacks will hold a final training session in Kyiv. On June 24, Shakhtar will go on the first training camp in Grassau, Germany.
