Former Dynamo forward and now soccer expert Viktor Leonenko commented on the news about the appointment of Ruslan Rotan as acting head coach of the Ukraine national team.
"Only we can have such a thing. The game is coming up, in three weeks, and we don't have a coach. Now suddenly appointed Rotan, and he "dug" Konoplyanka. Why not take him from the street? I'm already tired to say that the national team of Ukraine needs people, and we just take them. Everyone was already in our national team.
Rotanyu, first of all, we need to prove with Oleksandriya. I`m not sure if he`s going to show something. If he can, I`ll be wrong, but that`s my feeling from the first game. "Metalist 1925" was a serious rival for them. They conceded three goals at home.
Rotan has not really proved anything. He is a good footballer, a normal guy, but why to the National team? Let's take someone from the street. Ruslan coaches three teams, he has already surpassed Lobanovskiy. When such things happen, do not expect a good result, it can only be an accident. And again we will have half of the substitutes in the national team. And then everyone will blame it on the "spring soccer"...", - Leonenko said on his YouTube channel.
