The Club’s Under-16 team defeated Arsenal Kyiv 5:2 in their first Ukraine training camp friendly. Shaked Navon, Itay Ben Hemo, Yishai Bozrgi, Yarin Mozen and Or Roizman all scored in the victory for the young Yellow & Blue. Over the course of the training camp there will be a number of friendlies and intensive training sessions in order to prepare the side for the upcoming 2017/18 campaign.
The win continued the positive momentum at the camp as earlier in the day the Under-19 squad also defeated Dynamo Kyiv 4:0. The Under-17’s will also get into match action a little later on at the training camp as well. Raymond Atteveld, the Under-16 Professional Director expressed his thoughts: “The first friendly in Kiev came after a few very tough training sessions. It’s great to see that the things we worked on during training were done correctly, especially during the match. The players deserved the victory as they played well throughout the entire match. However, we still gave up two goals due to our own mistakes. Overall, I’m satisfied about a number of elements and we must continue to make sure we play our positions correctly. Tomorrow there will be two more training sessions where we will analyze the match that was and see where we can improve.”
