The “Girniky” mentor shared his thoughts after the first stage of preparation.
The head coach of Donetsk Shakhtar Marino Pusic commented on the sparring with Maribor (0:0), and also added support for the first stage of preparation until the other half of the season.
“There were two very important practices, we trained as much as every day - we only dedicated one day to renewal, so it was difficult. I am so pleased with how the team worked and progressed. As I said, there were two goals: to advance the level of our physical preparation and to perfect all the elements of the game - with and without the ball. Over the course of this hour, I have gained a lot of positive moments, and even more satisfaction.
All fights were special in their own way. We spent a lot of nasty sparring, and in the end I had a lot of great moments. We also played against serious superniks, whereby we took low chances and checked for counterattacks, which was bad for us. It is impossible to create many chances for the opposition against such an opponent, but we dominated, moved the ball, and the goals we created would have turned into goals. Ale I'm in a hot mood, a lot of running robots. It was important for the boys, even though we had a lot to do before this game. Sometimes you can note that a little something happened, but they fought with us, and it turned out badly.
Why did you choose to grati 4 halves of 30 minutes each As I already said, we should expect a level of physical preparation and improved gaming condition. We played 2 halves of 45 hvilins, and at the same time we were afraid of the offensive crock - we played 60 hvilins, in the offensive sparrings there would be 90. Therefore, we are encouraged to become even stronger.
What kind of football can your team demonstrate The one who has the game. Garna positional game, prompt attacks from the depths, a lot of rouhu, attacks - all those who have helped us, and we have noted changes in details, which is even bad.
All is well, we have made significant progress, we are becoming stronger, as shown in test matches. We can dominate without the ball, with great speed, great pressure.
The method of the other part is to continue to progress, give the gravels more husks and save your rhubarb.
Singingly, we are playing two matches per day of the upcoming season, we will move from 60 games to 90, and this will also be physically important, as well as necessary, or be prepared for serious games with Marseille,” the club’s press service quotes Pusich as saying..
