At the end of the Dutch training camp, the head coach of Alexandria Vladimir Sharan shared his opinion on the results of the two-week cycle.
"We first conducted the training camp in the Netherlands. I had some excitement about the test matches. After I found out what kind of sparring partners we would have, I was worried that they would all take place. A few days before the flight to the camp, we received confirmation that all matches will be held. Excellent conditions for work were created: the hotel and training fields are located in the forest, so nothing distracted from football. We are very satisfied with the control fights, "the press service of Alexandria quoted Sharan as saying..
"An indicative match was with Bruges. The rival of a sufficiently high level, the level of Shakhtar and Dynamo. It was a good exam for us. The match took place at high speeds. Despite the fact that we lost 0-3, I was pleased with the game. Our players performed all the settings that we demanded of them. The missed goals may not have been entirely logical, but we did not see many dangerous moments at our gates. Also it is possible to celebrate a meeting with Steaua. In general, all fights were good ".
"We expected all players to receive the same load. But unfortunately, in all matches Anton Shendrik and Artem Shchedry could not take part, that's why we summoned youth teams - Timur Stetskov - who made a good impression on the players'.
"All recruits are good, and most importantly quickly, joined the team. I believe in these guys, and I'm sure they will help the team ".
Note that the team of Sharan will be unsung in the third qualifying round of the League of Europe.
