Oleksandriya head coach Ruslan Rotan commented on the draw in the Ukrainian Premier League match against Veres on Matchday 29.
Ruslan Rotan"Oleksandriya is a team that plays the most spectacular football in this championship. This is a fact. We score a lot and concede a lot. The fans like it. But this is a problem for the coaching staff.
The beginning of the match was ours. We understood that this match was like the last for Veres. Therefore, it was important not to lose to the opponent in the mood. After a quick goal, the guys decided that the match was over. And this again created problems for us. This is unacceptable and we will talk about it again with the team. We must strive to score more and close the game.
Before the break, our team did not have a leader on the pitch. He appeared after the break. We had a serious talk in the dressing room and got together. I liked the second half. There were problems with implementation. But skill and class are things that need to be developed in training. We were able to win back and wanted to win. This is positive. But we need to concentrate better on the game and strive to score more.
In general, this season is a time of rebuilding for us. A year of renewal. Fourteen players left the team at the start of the championship. We are working hard. The guys want to develop. But it takes time to put on a game. There is progress. We did not get ten points during the season for various reasons. We are on the right track. And the results of this work will be shown next season," said Rotan.
