Oleksandr Shovkovskyi leads his "Dynamo" Kyiv side into action today in another pre-season friendly as preparations continue for the upcoming campaign. The Ukrainian champions will face Romanian club "Corvinul" at their training camp, with kickoff scheduled for 18:00.

"These matches are crucial for building our rhythm before competitive fixtures begin," a member of Shovkovskyi's coaching staff might say about today's test against the Romanian opposition.

Last season was certainly productive for the Kyiv outfit, as they clinched the Ukrainian Premier League title. Their opponents today have had recent success of their own, earning promotion to Romania's second division.

By the way, this match represents another opportunity for the coaching staff to assess player fitness and tactical understanding before the new season gets underway.

Will "Dynamo" show their championship quality against the Romanian side? Fans will certainly be keeping a close eye on today's performance as the new season approaches.
