Focus on the game against Vorskla Poltava
Shakhtar women's team have begun their preparations for the match against Vorskla scheduled for this Saturday. On Thursday, April 17, the Orange-and-Blacks held a training session at the Academy in Shchaslyve.
It traditionally started with a long aerobic work focused on maintaining overall endurance and preparing muscles for further loads. Then, the coaching staff introduced a small-sided game with tactical tasks for finishing practise. The training session concluded with shooting drills.
Yuliana Zavidova, midfielder:
– We are preparing responsibly for the match against the league leaders. The coaching staff focuses primarily on tactics and quick transition from defence to attack. We pay special attention to positional play and set pieces.
– In the next round, Shakhtar will meet the current champions – Vorskla Poltava. What is special about these opponents?
– Vorskla are known for their high-quality team play, solid defence and dangerous counterattacks The team know how to impose their style and have a good squad, where the experienced players play a key role.
– What can you say about the level of the current championship and how the difficult start of the second stage affects the team's condition?
– As for the level of the current championship, it has noticeably increased: most teams demonstrate a high level of physical fitness and tactical maturity. The beginning of the second stage was indeed difficult: a busy schedule, changing weather conditions and constant stress take their toll on physical and psychological conditions. At the same time, it is in such conditions that true team character is formed.
We remind that Shakhtar women’s team will host Vorskla Poltava at the Arsenal Arena on Saturday, April 19, at 12:00. The live stream will be available on Shakhtar’s official YouTube channel.
