Shakhtar women’s team are preparing for the clash with Obolon
On Monday, January 27, Shakhtar women's team players held a training session to prepare for the first game of 2025 – against Obolon in a friendly tournament dedicated to the memory of former player Viktoria Kotliarova (Chornovil), who tragically lost her life in a rocket attack on Kyiv in late December 2023.
The session began with a traditional intensive warm-up. Then the footballers switched to a set of tactical exercises in a game format to improve team interaction, while the goalkeepers, led by Dmytro Shutkov, worked on their reaction and basic ball catching techniques. At the end, the girls played a small-sided game within a limited part of the pitch.
Viktoriia Myronenko, midfielder:
– In the first days, we focused on regaining our general physical fitness after the winter break. Currently, we are gradually increasing the amount of work with the ball and improving team interaction in order to be in proper from for the start of the second part of the season.
– How would you assess your physical fitness after two weeks of training and what else do you need to work on in order to start the second part of the season in optimum condition?
– It is clear that I am gradually improving at each training session. You need to continue to work hard, not relax. Currently, my main task is to improve my endurance and technique.
– In the second stage of the Vyshcha League, Shakhtar will play in the competitive group. What do you expect from the spring part of the season and what tasks do you set for yourself?
– We managed to get into the top six based on the results of the first part of the season, the second will be more difficult, like last year, but I hope that we will be able to prepare well and successfully start the second round of the championship.
The highlights of the training session are available in the photo gallery.
