The team continue to rediscover their form at the pre-season training camp in Brdo
Wednesday, July 2, was another demanding training day for Shakhtar footballers. Arda Turan’s men went through two intense work sessions and received theoretical instruction.
The morning session was packed with various elements: after the warm-up and a series of squares focused on ball control and tackling, the Miners moved on to drills involving 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 situations, each ending with a finishing exercise. The players did additional running work at the end.
In the afternoon, the team had theory and video analysis, and in the evening the Orange-and-Blacks returned to the pitch for a second training session, which included a warm-up, a series of game-based exercises with a tactical emphasis, and finished with a small-sided game to consolidate the work.
As a reminder, Shakhtar are preparing in Slovenia for their debut pre-season friendlies against Gorica and Slovácko set for later this week, as well as the UEFA Europa League first qualifying round matches against Ilves. The home European fixture will take place on July 10, tickets are on sale.
