Shakhtar women’s team are preparing to face the reigning champions, Kharkiv
Shakhtar footballers are filling the break in the Prime League with daily training sessions at the Academy in Shchaslyve, with the main focus on improving speed and overall endurance.
On Thursday, September 3, the Orange-and-Blacks began with an extended ball-running activation exercise. The main part of the session focused on working on various tactical approaches and improving team play, as well as set-piece situations. They concluded with shooting drills.
Viktoriia Holovach, captain:
– The preparation for the game against Kharkiv has been good as we have had plenty of time for it. We have worked a lot on endurance and, I think, we are heading into the match in good physical form. Kharkiv have their strengths and weaknesses, like everyone else, but they are the reigning champions of Ukraine. I like the way they play. They are really strong opponents, with a squad made up of Ukraine internationals, and they have also achieved good results in European competitions.
The highlights of the training session are available in the photo gallery.
We would like to remind you that this Sunday, September 6, Shakhtar will face Prime League leaders Kharkiv. The match at the Arsenal Arena in Shchaslyve kicks at 12:00.
