FC "Arkadag" from the city of the same name is preparing in Bansko (Bulgaria) for the resumption of the championship of Turkmenistan on football. The ORIENT correspondent contacted the team's forward Didar Durdyev and talked with him about the training session, the first international match in the history of the club, and how the players spend their free time.
– What are your expectations from training session?
– The main goal is to prepare for the second part of the season. We are here to keep winning and keep our fans happy.
The main emphasis is made on physical and tactical exercises. In training, we develop different football formations and combinations that we will use in the upcoming matches.
– Despite the fact that the match against FC Besa from North Macedonia (1:1) was friendly, it is still the first international game in the history of FC Arkadag, and you became the author of the goal. What were your intentions on the field? What was missing to win?
– Yes, the match was friendly, but we always set ourselves the highest possible goals, regardless of the nature of the fights. The team was supposed to win, but the implementation failed a little. The guys gave their all, a little unlucky. We worked on the mistakes and already in the next friendly match we beat the youth team of the Israeli "Bnei Sakhnin" with a score of 2:0.
– What is the atmosphere in the team now?
– There are no problems with the atmosphere in the team, as many guys have been playing together for more than a year. In addition, almost all football players have joint experience of playing in the national team of Turkmenistan.
– What can you say about football fields in Bulgaria? Do they differ from domestic ones, in particular, from the new stadium in the city of Arkadag?
– The fields here are of good quality. In terms of adaptation, there were no problems, since we did not see a big difference in them compared to ours. As for the modern stadium built in the city of Arkadag, we managed to hold a match there, in which we won. We hope that this victory will be the key to the next ones, and the stands of the 10,000th arena will always be filled to capacity.
– How was the adaptation in the city of Bansko?
– It's an amazing resort town. Wonderful landscapes make you feel the beauty of the local nature. There are many historical sights, medieval monasteries and churches, ancient buildings and it is very cozy.
– How is a typical day at the training camp?
– The days at the training camp are almost the same, sometimes because of this they seem a little routine. Every day, we have two workouts, then recovery procedures. And so from day to day.
– How does the team relax in their free time?
– In our free time we can play table tennis, sometimes the choice falls on computer games, or a steam room, a swimming pool ... It's interesting just to walk around the city, take a tour.
– Does the team have any special diet?
– Yes, of course, nutrition plays an important role in the life of athletes. We try to limit fatty and floury foods, paying more attention to the consumption of fish, vegetables and fruits.
– At the moment, FC "Arkadag" unconditionally leads the standings of the championship of Turkmenistan on football and is the favorite in the Cup of the country. How to stay motivated in this case?
– We are now in first place in the table and are the favorites of the tournament, but this does not mean anything, since there are a large number of matches ahead in the national championship and we need to remain extremely concentrated in order to win the first coveted trophy in the history of FC Arkadag.
