Now Rukh is preparing for the match with Dynamo as usual. We have time to study the game of our next opponent and analyze its strengths and weaknesses.
At the moment, I am satisfied with the way Rukh looked at the start of the season, given the personnel problems we had. Now some of the players have recovered from injuries and are training in the general group - Marko Sapuga, Yuriy Klymchuk, Freddie Pluman. The match will take place on Saturday, so by then we will see what condition these players will be in and whether they will be included in the application. We would like them to get into optimal condition as soon as possible, but we will not force this process, because it is important that the guys are in shape.
Of course, we always want to win and show the best possible game. But there are certain circumstances, and that's why we had some unsuccessful matches. We have a lot to improve and progress in. The whole team is gradually developing, but this process is still unstable, so there can be both great games and not so good ones. The main thing is to learn a lesson from any result and then you can progress, which is important for young people," said Ponomarev.
