The team conducted their morning training on January 14 ... neither on the beach nor in the ocean. Mircea Lucescu arranged for the players the kind of training that allows them to have nearly all the muscles loaded. Water treatment has been not just the most fun, but also the brightest bit of the training session.

So, the training comprised three parts. To begin with, the players performed stretching exercises, then they did abdominal crunches in the gym. Finally, they went to the pool. To the songs of Lady Gaga and Gangnam Style, the team had a mini competition in swimming in different styles, including speedy underwater swimming. They also conducted a water polo match. They also checked their breathing capability. The essence of this exercise is to hold your breath for as long as possible under water surface. The Brazilians were the first to emerge. While Taras Stepanenko and Serhiy Kryvtsov enjoyed a flawless victory. To the thunderous applause of holidaymakers, the guys popped up just when the other players had forgotten about this exercise.

We also want to note that the smallest group of players, consisting of the two latecomers - Costa and Bernard – did some cross-country running in a dull and droopy manner. As nothing more interesting awaited them at the morning training session.
