Weather intervened in Shakhtar plans
When heading for a morning training session on 1 February, the Pitmen cautiously glanced out the window bus. As soon as it headed to the sports center from the hotel, it was felt how the wind moved the vehicle. Orange groves that are stretched all the way to Pinatar Arena clearly confirmed the worst fears: Murcia and the surrounding area were affected by hurricane. And in sunny weather!
The sports center, on the fields of which the session was planned to be held, was in the epicentre of the storm. All that was in an open area, was cracking, trembling and gritting from the wind. In some places, hurricane even tore the iron mesh around the training field!
Having assessed the situation, Mircea Lucescu took no risks and sent a team to the gym. The players were divided into two groups: one was doing fitness exercises, the other – exercises on flexibility. Then, they reversed. Shakhtar still didn’t make to the pitch in the morning of 1 February. But, returning to the hotel, Mister held a one-hour theory session with his charges. There was a comprehensive analysis of the games in Brazil.
In the evening, the team again went to Pinatar Arena. By all indications, the hurricane begins to slowly subside.
