Victor Mikhailov: Our aim is to get maximum from every game
Victor, a traditional question for you - how is the preparation for Division A going?
The team began training on the 1st of July. During the preparation period we were working twice a day. We managed to do the job we needed to do and all our footballers enjoyed the work.
What can you say about played friendlies?
We played 8 games in this period against teams from Divisia A and National Division. There have been home and away games. We took a rather big amount of players from Academy and that's why we had to watch them play as well.
Did anything change in the process of young footballers preparation? What do you pay attention to? Что изменилось в процессе подготовки футболистов? На что вы стали уделять больше внимания?
We pay attention to the quickness of working with the ball and quickness of thought. It is necessary that the player is confident.
Psychology must play also a vital role in this process...
Of course. In the preparation period we paid great attention to individual and team discussions. In these discussions it was necessary to bring confidence to players - only being confident they will be ready to show everything they can on the pitch.
The Sheriff-2 squad changed a lot...
Yes, as I have said, we took a group of players of the years 1996-1997 to the team. Many of the grown up players switched to FC Sheriff main team or to different teams of the Moldavian championship.
And what can you say about the newbies? Are there leaders already?
Young players coming to Sheriff-2 do not find it very easy to quickly adopt because there is a big switch from child football to grown-up with increased speeds. It makes them work with the ball quicker and be quicker in their decisions. But they showed their will and commitment. There are, of course, players in the team who are older and help youngsters to adopt on the pitch and in everyday life. They are all friends.
What are the aims of FC Sheriff this season?
The aim is to get the maximum from every game - only this way we can grow winners. But the main task is to prepare players for the first team.
There is the first official game of this season ahead. Does the team wait for it?
Sure, they are longing for playing, want to show themselves in official matches - they are different from friendlies.
