The captain of the White-Blues Daniil Fomin spoke about VTB training camps and addressed the fans before the start of the season.
— Did two friendly games with Pari NN become a successful test before the start of the season?
— We played a good match, and only the first official game will show whether it was a success. The training camp went well. It was hard, but we are coming competitive to the new season.
— It is clear that the team plays with great desire, despite the workloads. Who or what makes you so charged?
— A new coach has come, so everyone has a great desire to prove themselves. We try to play the kind of football that brings satisfaction. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but the main thing is that everyone is trying, and this is a big bonus for us.
— Five friendly matches – five wins. Will they help you feel confident in your abilities?
— Of course, every win helps us feel more confident.
— How do you feel after three weeks of intense training?
— These are the most difficult camps in my life. It's hard so far, but it's good for us, because we'll be physically ready for the season. This is the only way to play with the ball and without it. I think everything will be great.
— A week still remains before the first official match. Can we say that the team already fully understands all the requirements of the new head coach?
— It's very difficult to get used to it completely in two or three weeks, but there is a theory at every training session, so we listen to coaches and try to get used to their vision. In general, we are working in this regard.
— Dynamo are playing the first match against Krasnodar at home. Are you waiting for the atmosphere like during the Brother's Cup?
— The atmosphere at these two friendly matches was amazing. We missed the fans. I would like the fans to continue coming to the stadium. So I'm calling everyone to the match with Krasnodar. We should be united with the stands and move forward all together.
