Rukh U-19 captain: “Milan could have passed”

Midfielder of the "yellow-blacks" Denis Pidgursky shared his impressions of the European Cup campaign of the youth team "Rukh", which ended in the 1/8 finals.

“What did Rukh lack to defeat Milan? We missed some players who got injured. There was not enough creativity in the attack, there were not enough emotions.

We understand that this is not our last game and we need to move on. You can't stop there. Such defeats at first suppress, but time passes - and they motivate. Why suppress? Because we as a team understood that we could do more at that moment. We could pass this "Milan". And now they are in the semi-finals and we realize that Rukh could have been there.

Which team was the strongest in this UEFA Youth League competition? Polish "Zaglebie". Many say that we passed them very simply. But these were two super-complex games. I believe that it was the strongest opponent in this Champions League," Pidgursky said in an interview "Football 24 ".
