BRATISLAVA – During the winter training, the players of Slovan Bratislava will compete against several well-known teams, including Slavia Prague or the Qatari team Al-Rayyan.
The Slav players will start their joint preparation for the spring part with fitness tests on January 10, and on Saturday, January 20, they will head to Qatar for a ten-day training camp, during which they will play three warm-up matches. The official website of the “Whites” informed about it.
According to assistant coach Boris Kitka, the first part of the training will be focused on the development of endurance and strength parameters.
“The players will undergo strength and endurance testing. We will take the results into account when planning the individual load and as information about where the players are,” said Kitka. The matches in Qatar will start with the first match on January 26, when their opponent will be the fourth team of the Qatari Stars League, whose squad includes Rodrigo and Thiago Mendes.
The second opponent of Slovan will be Al-Wakrah SC, the third opponent has been decided. The starting point for the spring season of the Nike League in Žilina will be a match in Prague with home Slavia.
“We will meet a very high-quality and strong opponent. It will be five days before the spring premiere in Žilina. We want to combine the cycles we have in preparation so that we are well prepared for the first spring match. In case of changes in the squad, it will be important that the new players established themselves, played with the team and were as well prepared as possible when they arrived. If the team is well physically prepared, you can more quickly focus on more specific things, such as the style of play or things resulting from the game system and individual positions.” noted Kitka.
