"THE MAIN THING FOR US NOW IS THE PROGRESS OF YOUNG PLAYERS"
Dzmitry Valdamaravich, congratulations on your appointment and return to "Dinamo-Minsk". Have you already met the players and what are your first impressions of the work?
- Many thanks. Yes, we got acquainted with the team and have already begun full preparation. It is always very interesting to work with something new and I am sure that "Dinamo-Minsk" reserve team will be a very important stage for us. I already had a similar experience in my career when I worked at the RSUOR Academy, with football players born in 2003. Players at this age always try to show themselves at 100%, work with full dedication. I can say that our payers are promising and very hard-working.
What will Dinamo reserves be like in the upcoming season, will the team change much?
- It is difficult to give an accurate forecast now. I can only say that starting this year, the reserve team will be updated. The team will mainly be represented by players born in 2004, as well as several guys from 2003 and 2002.
Who will be included in the coaching staff of the backup team?
- At the moment, Uladzimir Yurkevich, a goalkeeping coach, is working with me. Gennadzi Liasun will be an assistant, he also heads Dinamo-2004 team. Viktar Babich will be the physical training coach.
The junior championship and the reserves tournament are still significantly different. How difficult can it be for our young players to switch from children's football?
- Time will tell. It's hard to say now. We will work hard with the team, we will try to approach the season in optimal shape and reach our goals.
What tasks will you set for the team this year?
- The main thing for us now is the progress of young players, so that in the future they can become part of the main squad of "Dinamo-Minsk". At this age, they should be willing to win. Their professional growth and gradual adaptation to adult football will be our priority.
