FC Terek Grozny coach Stanislav Cherchesov in his interview with the official club website spoke about the squad’s performance on first workouts of the Turkish winter camp.  

- The squad started into training sessions in a positive mood. Of course, all players are different and each adapts to physical loads in a different way after a break. I have to say that I am rather pleased about their performance on the first workouts. I am also glad about improving weather conditions, especially after hail we had yesterday. The third and fourth days of the camp are going to be more difficult with some leg aches. We try to provide players with the optimal load so that they gain shape most effectively.

- It is traditionally considered that physical condition is in the focus during the first camp. What are your general plans for the first camp and what are you going to focus at?
- We try to center our workouts on football, as physical load is also possible through football. We have special equipment that provides online information about individual workload of players. Then, we will also have two test games – against Heracles Almelo on January 14, and FC Sheriff on January 18. And of course we will have to complete the camp without injuries. Quite unfortunately, Legear has come back with cold from his vacation.

 
- Club fans are anticipating for the season to resume. Fans on club website wish the team to work well during midseason preparations and turn into a lively and perfectly coordinated team.

- We feel their support and it makes us glad. There was a certain distance between the team and fans when I just started, but now the warmth is back. We do our best to prove our worth with our performance and approaches. We have our advantages and disadvantages and the fans can feel that we try to get better. We work to become a very different team in terms of both  the performance and staffing.
