And I congratulate Kryvbas on the victory. This team is the leader of Ukrainian football.
As for the current tournament position of "Alexandria" (13th place - editor's note), it is a matter of time. I am sure of it. We have a 90 per cent new team, consisting of young players. This is the strategy of the club. That's why I am here, and I really want our youngsters to progress. If you don't look at the result, these guys are getting stronger every day. They are hitting their stride," Rotan said at the post-match press conference.
