Ori David: Our main task is to gradually bring the players to optimal physical shape

Assistant coach of Kryvyi Rih Kryvyi Rih Kryvyi Rih Kryvyi Rih Ori David - about the first test match at the summer training camp against Petrovsk Ingulets (1:2).

- What are the main conclusions you can draw after the first test match at the training camp?

- Overall, it was a match in which physical training was our main priority. Last week, the team worked very hard in training, so today it was noticeable that the players were a little tired. But now it is not of decisive importance. Our main task is to gradually bring the players to optimal physical shape, doing it without injuries. This is our main focus at this stage of training.

- In the second half, the coaching staff made a large number of substitutions, in particular, they released young players. How satisfied are you with how they showed themselves?

- In the first half, the first-team players played, and we saw more mature football. After the break, the U-17 and U-16 academy players took to the field, who got the opportunity to play against the adult team. They showed great desire, worked hard on the field and gained very valuable experience. For me and the entire coaching staff, this is also an important positive of this match.

- Despite the result, did you see today the elements of the game that the team is working on in training?

- Right now, we are primarily focused on physical indicators. We analyzed the data from GPS trackers, and they are the main reference point in our work now. Our task is to gradually increase the distance covered, the number of sprints, avoid injuries and continue this progress over the next week.

- What tasks will the team face in the next test match against Chornomorets?

- Yes, there is another test match ahead, which will be held in Odessa. We have to approach it even better prepared in order to improve our physical indicators and qualitatively approach the training camp in the Netherlands.
