Olympic coach Roman Sanjar told about the preparation of the team for the spring season and its prospects.

Roman Sanjar gave an interview to the television channel Football, in which he told about the changes in the Olympic, his prospects and work at the training camps.

- What will be the spring Olympic?.

- The fact that he will change is definitely. It will be stronger - this is a question. It all depends on how well we work selectively. From who replenishes the team, in many respects will depend on the results. At the first gathering in Turkey we will see the guys we are offered, and sparring will help us to decide. The whole picture of how Olympic will be tomorrow, I also do not see myself. Need to play a few matches.

- You said that the Olympic is formed exclusively at the expense of free agents. How good is the free agent market now?.

- I think that not only do we work with free agents. At us all clubs have passed to such practice, except for Dynamo, Shakhtar and, maybe, Zari. Extra money for today, no one has. And the market is as it is. Our plus is that we are based in Kiev, we have stable salaries, from us the guys go to more status clubs. We are also interested in football players. So we will try to use this effectively and find those that will help us achieve the result.

- There are about ten potential newcomers in the Olympics. What impressions did they leave for you during the first days of work in Kiev and in Turkey?.

- It is at this stage that an erroneous opinion may develop. Someone was preparing on vacation, someone is not. In Kiev we worked on a synthetic field that last days was frozen. Based on this, do not draw conclusions, they can be premature. I want to work here in good fields, hold sparring, after which it will be possible to make a decision. So far, the guys are trying, but my decision will be affected by what I see in these matches.

- What positions require strengthening?.

- I would like to see the strengthening in the attacking link. In the center, Andrei Bogdanov left us, there is Volodya Doronin, but he has not yet completely moved from the trauma. I would like to see a creative football player in the center of the field, which could replace Bogdanov. As for the defense, I think that Timur Partzvania and Sergei Kulinich will be able to adequately replace Sergei Shestakov.

- Do you think the game of Olympique will change greatly if Moha leaves?.

- Everything will depend on who will take his position. When I identify with this, I will understand what qualities this or that footballer will have, we will choose tactics, starting from this. Our game will change in any case, but how - it's hard for me to say.

"Is Moha going to leave?".

- I would like that, honestly. He deserves it, he tried hard, worked hard. I would like him to do it all. Because I know that if something breaks, it will be very hard for him to return to Olympic. Even if he returns, it is not a fact that he will play and he will have everything. He played a good season, it's time to take a step forward.

- What are the prospects for Artem Shabanov in Dynamo?.

- Everything will depend on the player and the microclimate in which he finds himself. All will show matches, as Artem will get to find a common language with the guys, with the coaching staff. There can be everything in football, but I believe that Artem has the qualities to compete for a place in the first team Dynamo.

- Yesterday, Olympic had three training sessions. Is the load serious?.

- Yes, we had three trainings, but I do not think that our load is beyond the limits. Before the championship another month, you need to lay the foundation. It is necessary to bring all the players to the same level of physical readiness. All the guys suffer, no one in training does not fall.

- Olimpica has strong sparring partners. Is it a plus for the team?.

- It can be either plus or minus. It is not a fact that, having strong rivals, you will reach a good level. We decided this year to follow this path. What is good in these games, against the background of such rivals, the quality of potential newcomers will manifest themselves. Every team wants to win, even at the training camps, so if we do not succeed in achieving victories somewhere, this is not good for psychology. Nevertheless, for us it is more important not the result, but the viewing of those guys who come to us. The main thing is how we will play in the championship.

- Do you have time to feel the Turkish flavor?.

- We will have one day off, then we can go to the city, look around. And since we practically do not have time. There are training sessions, they need to be discussed, disassembled, prepared. From morning till night we are busy. At the moment in Turkey, the weather is good, there is a sea.

You can go out on the balcony, sit, look at the sea, think. It is both pleasant and helps to restore. Every year we come here, and we like everything here..

At the training camp in Turkey, Olimpic will play against Steaua (January 18), Polish Crown (January 21), Slovak Slovan (January 24) and Shkendia (January 26).
