Obolon head coach: "The match with Oleksandriya will take place in the spring. In December, it will not be football, but rugby."

Obolon's head coach Valerii Ivashchenko commented on the situation with the postponement of the match of the 15th round of the Ukrainian championship against Oleksandriya, which was not held last weekend due to bad weather.

"When will the match between Oleksandriya and Obolon be rescheduled? Given the weather conditions, it will be spring. There are two more rounds left, we want to finish them. The game with Dynamo is scheduled for 11 December - and it is still unknown what the weather will be like on that day.

We all talked to the management of our club, the coaching staff and the management of Oleksandriya. Given the weather conditions, what kind of football can we talk about? Just a game for show? Why then prepare, play out schemes, football ideas? It's not a football game, it's going to be rugby," Ivashchenko said.
