"Sadly the weather continues not to be the best. The sun shone on Monday, but the rain fell throughout Tuesday, just like it had done on Sunday. The training pitches are really good quality despite that. This period is mainly about physically being in the best state possible, and the training sessions are not boring. More and more tactical elements are being included in the sessions. It can be seen that the mistakes that were made in the autumn are being worked on now during the winter break, so a lot of emphasis has been placed on solving those mistakes."

"It became official on Tuesday that the Macedonian international, Mirko Ivanovski will be linking up with us. I do not know too much about him at the moment, but I can say after the first couple of training sessions that he is very good on the ball. German team FC Union Berlin have been with us at the same hotel since Monday, and close to 100 supporters have followed them out to the training camp. This is not such a big thing on its own, as this is usually the case abroad, and especially with Italian clubs, that 2-3,000 fans follow their favourite side when they are at a training camp. It is strange for me that the fans are actually living in the same hotel as the team, which I have not experienced before."
