The first week of winter preparations for the resumption of the season for the blue and white team has come to an end, and we have collected for you complete information about how the team lived at that time.
On Monday-Tuesday, the Dynamo team underwent a traditional medical examination at the International Health Center and additional functional testing at the Dynamo Lab based in Novogorsk. The team's chief physician, Alexander Rodionov, noted slight deviations from the norms in some players, but expressed confidence that everyone would soon get into optimal shape.
On Wednesday, the blue and white flew to Qatar without Ivan Lepskiy, who went on loan to Sokol, and Vyacheslav Grulev, who, after 7 years spent at the Dynamo base, moved to Pari Nizhny Novgorod. Slava has already scored a goal in the first friendly match in the new team. There are no other changes in the composition of the blue and white team yet.
Arthur Gomez went to his first training camp with Dynamo with a fighting spirit: "I'm ready, I trained a little on vacation, played football with friends. I understand that there will be heavy loads waiting for us, so I will do my best to prepare well for the resumption of the championship. We want to prepare as well as possible for it and show our best game."
The first two days of the training camp were missed by Konstantin Tyukavin, who picked up a viral infection on the eve of departure. But already on Saturday, the best football player of last season started working on an individual plan and should join the general group at the beginning of next week.
Milan Majstorovic, who underwent surgery for chronic ARS syndrome in December, is also working individually for the time being. The Serbian defender should join the training sessions with the team at the second training camp.
— In recent matches, when I gave a pass, I felt a lot of pain and could not play fully. The doctor said to rest, and look at the condition after the operation. I feel fine now, everything is going well. In Abu Dhabi, I hope I will be able to train with the team already," Milan shared.
Dynamo members have already spent four busy days with two-day training sessions, and on Sunday they joined the Epiphany bathing. However, the function of the ice hole this time was performed by the cold water of the Persian Gulf. There is an equally difficult second week of the training camp ahead, where players, among other things, are expected to train in the sand.
— It is clear that the exercises are changing, but the plan remains the same: to prepare the team as best as possible so that it is ready for the most important games in the second part of the season from the first to the last minute. So the preparation will be hard, as always," Marcel Licka promised.
Pavel Derevyanko, an ambassador and fan of the club, came to Doha to cheer up the team, and Dynamo TV will soon delight you with content. Also at the beginning of next week, Luis Chavez is due to arrive in Qatar, who received additional vacation days due to the birth of his first child.
The training camp in Doha will last until January 27, which is scheduled for the first test match of the year. We will announce the opponent a little later.
