Shakhtar women’s team are preparing for the match against Polissia Zhytomyr

On Tuesday, October 15, Shakhtar women’s team held a pre-game training session at the Academy facility in Shchaslyve.

They began with an intensive warm-up aimed at developing spatial orientation and reaction. After that, the field players focused on passing exercises and finishing practice. At that time, the goalkeepers improved their play off the line and the accuracy of passes under a separate programme.

Viktoriia Holovach, midfielder:

– Preparation for the meeting with Polissia is taking place in a great atmosphere. Today, the team had a relatively light pre-game training session that included relays and square drills.

– What do you expect from the match?
– Polissia are a good team with excellent players. This season, they were joined by many players from Dnipro-1, which disbanded, and matches against them were always challenging. A tough match is ahead, where our opponents will impose a serious fight.

– The final matches of the first stage of the Vyshcha League are ahead. What are the challenges facing the team and how do recent results affect motivation and mood?
– Of course, we want to secure a spot in the top six and finish the season in the best possible way. The beginning was quite difficult, but we are carefully preparing for the next matches, hoping for a positive result. The victories in the previous rounds significantly increased the moral and psychological condition of the team, adding more confidence.

The highlights of the training session are available in the photo gallery.

We remind that the Vyshcha League round 9 match between Polissia and Shakhtar will take place at the Tsentralnyi stadium on October 16 at 16:00.
