Shakhtar women's team are filling the two-week international break with training sessions
The coaching staff of the Miners is focusing on improving the physical fitness and endurance during the two-week break. On Wednesday, April 2, Shakhtar footballers held a training session at the Academy facility in Shchaslyve.
They began with an intensive aerobic warm-up using hurdles to develop speed and spatial orientation. Then the players worked on ball control and finishing attacks in a mini-tournament format within a limited area of the filed with a neutral footballer.
Anastasiia Sikorska, midfielder:
– On Monday, the team started training on a natural pitch. Moving to a new field is always difficult because the ball bounces differently, you need to get used to it. Today's session was intense: the main focus was on passing, ball control techniques and decision-making speed.
– Shakhtar have already played three rounds in the spring part of the season. What conclusions have been drawn and how do the results affect the team's mood?
– Unfortunately, we failed to score points in three matches. It is a difficult period for the team, but we are not giving up. We are analysing our mistakes, working on tactics and team interplay to become stronger.
– Shakhtar will face Ladomyr away in the next round. What do you know about the opponents and what kind of game are you expecting?
– Matches against Ladomyr are always tough, especially away. They are a young and talented team that work well with the ball and operate in an organized manner. However, we are ready to fight for three points and will do everything we can to achieve a positive result.
The highlights of the training session are available in the photo gallery.
We remind that Shakhtar women’s team will meet with Volodymyr-based side Ladomyr in the Vyshcha League second stage round 4, scheduled for April 13.
