Valerii Fedorchuk: The first 10-14 days - the foundation: physical activity and player training

The coach of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas Valerii Fedorchuk - about the progress of the winter training camp in Spain and the upcoming sparring match against the Danish Aarhus.

- Valerii Yuriyovych, how is your adaptation to the team going?

- Since I recently joined the coaching staff, I'm still getting used to it. I want to understand the principles and philosophy of work as deeply as possible in order to feel calmer and freer in my head.

- How are your first winter training camps with Kryvbas going, how are the players working?

- I see that the guys are working very qualitatively and at a high level. The most important thing is that they have emotion. It is clear that it is already the 6th-7th day of training and fatigue is accumulating, but we, the coaching staff, are trying to give them emotion. The guys themselves understand that they need to work, because the second part of the championship is ahead, so it is important to show ourselves from the best side.

- What do you emphasize at this stage of training?

- The first 10-14 days are the foundation: physical activity and player preparation. The training process includes the head coach's philosophy and game principles, we model all of this. There are matches in which we can demonstrate these developments and improve them directly in the training process.

- You work a lot with young people. How is your work going?

- Young people are interesting. It is clear that it is a bit difficult for them, because they need to think faster, make decisions faster and not lose the ball in difficult situations. But they cope: they absorb everything like a sponge, perceive information and work. They have no other choice - to endure and improve their individual and playing qualities.

- The game against the Danish "Aarhus" is ahead. What are your thoughts before the confrontation?

- We are engaged in theoretical moments, which we will work out again today directly on the football field, because this is a pre-game training. We have simulated situations that we may encounter. We know how the opponent plays - this is an interesting team. It's great that we hold such matches: they show our level, and the players grow against the background of strong opponents. The opponent has interesting tactics: they play according to the 3-2-2-3 scheme. These are very high-quality and fast football players who understand well what to do on the football field, so the match with this opponent will be very interesting.
