Shakhtar women’s team started their preparations for the clash with Kolos Kovalivka
On Friday, March 14, Shakhtar women’s team trained at the Academy base in Shchaslyve.
The session began in the gym with activation exercises for all muscle groups. Then the players moved to the field, where they worked with the ball after a short running warm-up. At the end, the coaching staff arranged a mini-tournament featuring a small-sided game within a limited part of the pitch.
Yevheniia Karban, goalkeeper:
– During training sessions, we focus primarily on physical fitness and tactics. We practise transitions from defence, focusing on short passes and moving from the defensive to the offensive phase. We are preparing carefully for the second part of the season and want to demonstrate quality play in order to achieve positive results.
– Following the results of the friendly tournament dedicated to the memory of Viktoriia Chornovil, you were recognized as the team's best player. What does this award mean to you?
– It is very important to me because it’s probably my first award in football, as I used to play futsal. It confirms that I’m moving in the right direction. I want to thank the coaches who help me progress.
– Shakhtar will face Kolos in the second stage of the Vyshcha League. What are your expectations and what do you know about the opponents?
