Shakhtar U19 head coach Oskar Ratulutra talked about preparation for the season, current form of footballers, working pattern and goals for the season
– This is the second training camp already. How can you qualify readiness of the guys for the season?
– The team gains the required conditions, but for now we cannot say that we have our optimum form. We need to wait for the start of official matches and only then the footballers will be able to feel the atmosphere and responsibility again. We have work to do. Besides, we will have one more week for training after returning to Ukraine, whereafter the guys must rediscover their optimum form.
– Tell us about your mode at the training camp in Slovenia?
– We continue to train in a double mode. We focus on individual aspects of development of the players in the morning and evening training is aimed at practicing of team actions and has a tactical direction. We use more playing exercises to establish the team interaction.
– The last matches played by the full squad were in Turkey in February. What assessment can you make regarding Shakhtar U19 in friendlies?
– We played many friendly matches and received good information about the players. Due to the war, guys trained either individually or with other clubs maintaining their forms. There were different requirements, but I see that the footballers have already remembered the principles of our Academy and interaction model.
– Is the second training camp in Slovenia functionally different in comparison with the first one in the Netherlands?
– The first one was adaptive, because all guys have different form. It was necessary to obtain common denominator in the team and to adapt it to our style. The main goal during the second training camp was establishment of playing interrelations on the field.
– What goals do you have for the championship and UEFA Youth League?
– The club always has only the highest tasks. Also we must continue preparation of footballers for the first team and make everything to see them in the junior and youth national teams of Ukraine. When we achieve this, we will be done with our tasks for the season.
