Ori David: It was a good sparring session for our young guys

Assistant head coach of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas Ori David commented on the fifth friendly match at the winter training camp in Spain against the English Brentford B – 0:0.

- What are the main conclusions that can be drawn after this sparring match?

- Yes, it was a good sparring match for our young guys. The opponent is a different style of football, so, you know, a lot of fighting, a lot of long passes and aerial duels. It is very good for the development of the players and for the team that there is an opportunity to play against an opponent with such a style of football. Actually, I like it. I like the football in our performance, so we are very pleased with what we saw today.

- How do you assess the physical condition of the team before the start of the championship after five matches at the training camp?

- We are working a lot on physical form to prepare it for the first game against Metalist 1925. So, it is not only sparring matches, it is also training. The guys work very hard, but also tactically, not only physically. We combine it together. As you saw, we divided the team. Today the young guys played, on Saturday - others. It's good that everyone will spend 90 minutes on the field and will be in good shape.

- Are you satisfied with the performance of the newcomers?

Yes. We are satisfied with what we saw. The new guys need to adapt to fast, direct football, to a higher pace. But we saw very good things, not bad quality, and we continue to develop these players so that they are ready for the championship.

- Do you have any specific tasks for the team for these days left before the championship?

- Yes. The second part of the training camp is about matches, about playing more time on the field. As I said, both physically and tactically, so that we are ready. And now this is the main thing in the second part of the training camp. And when we return to Ukraine, the team must be 100% ready for official meetings.
