Correspondent iSport. ua Alexander Korshikov spoke with Shakhtar's mentor on physical training Pedro Moreira.

- Tell me, what exactly is your work justified on?.

- First of all, our training system helps the club in tactical work. What do we want? This is what the team will then show on the football field. However, of course, that in parallel there are always other components that are mandatory. One of them is related to physical activity.

- How exactly is the preparation of the club?.

- Our preparation usually goes on throughout the season, where its beginning is the most important part, as the team needs to be brought to a higher physical level, and also to adapt the players to our ideas, where the functional work is carried out in order to minimize the traumatic danger of the players.

- Is it possible to involve all muscle groups, training in this way, and not just the legs?.

- Definitely yes! This is what we are doing here. Performing the exercises, there is a certain adaptation to the loads that players will experience on the football field. Those muscle groups that we practice in fitness are those that are most often required for a football player during a match.
