Of course, we have a very serious game ahead of us and the tournament position also adds to the responsibility. However, we will try to play our usual football and not deviate from our game principles. The team will play for victory, just like in every match before, because Rukh wants to get a positive result and will do everything in its power to achieve it.
Our players have shown qualitative growth and progress during the season. They proved that they can compete for the highest places in the Ukrainian league and still play an interesting game. Each of our guys understands the importance of the upcoming match with Dynamo and they are ready to give their all on Saturday for a positive result.
Perhaps this is one of the most interesting championships in recent times, because we can see how interesting the fight for European Cup places and for survival is, as well as the long fight for the championship - almost to the last rounds. It is very interesting for fans to watch such matches and intrigue. If there is such competition, the Ukrainian championship will only progress and the players will develop better and faster. Youngsters get a lot of playing time and over time, these players will gain the necessary experience and grow as professional footballers, which is very beneficial for Ukrainian football," Ponomarev said.
