Famous Ukrainian coach Oleksandr Babych spoke about Oleksandriya's performance in the current Ukrainian championship.
Alexander Babich"With the arrival of Ruslan Rotan (Oleksandriya's head coach - ed. note), who began to recruit the team for himself, Oleksandriya relied on talented young players, and, as the situation was assessed before the season, expected to fight for at least a place in the top four. However, the calculation was wrong. The team obviously lacks a backbone - experienced players and leaders. Therefore, there is no desired result.
Yes, the game that Rotan wants to see is interesting, but the constant mistakes of his players do not add confidence to the team, especially when they make fatal, goal-scoring mistakes when trying to leave the penalty area for a short pass. This can be fixed in the long run, but it will take time and patience. I would like to note that Kryvbas and Polissia have placed their main stake on the result - as they say, here and now. Therefore, it is enough for Oleksandriya to successfully play 3-4 matches, and everything will work out. It is important that Rotan's team defeated Metalist 1925 in the final match of the year - this will improve the mood and add positivity to the preparation. But in the future, Oleksandriya needs to understand that it will be finally studied by its rivals and it will be even more difficult in the spring than in the autumn," FootBoom quotes Babych as saying.
