Oleksandriya's head coach Ruslan Rotan commented on his team's 1-0 victory over Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih in yesterday's match of the 8th round of the Ukrainian championship.
- As for our leadership, it is proved by results and work. We must always think about the result. We have agreed with the guys that we do not look at the standings, but think about each next game, and it will be seen. We have to work in training on a Sunday cycle and see the game as it is. In terms of achieving results, in terms of requirements. I am very pleased with the guys that we are working.
If we take today's game, compared to the last championship, we have added a lot in terms of character, in terms of the thirst for victory. As for the game, I think that the coaching staff will always be dissatisfied with something, especially with the game.
- Scoring a goal and sitting on the defense, occasionally slowing down the pace, is this the Rotan style?
- I will not fall for your provocations, because you are asking a very pointed question. Some journalists invented this "Rotan style". There is a specific rival, Kryvbas. What is Kryvbas' strength? Playing one-on-one, not letting the opponent play, counterattacks, free space, breaking into the zones. That's why it's not about Rotan-style. When the game is one-on-one, it's very difficult to find a free man. You know, we got up at 6 am today, got on the bus and came to the game. Any team will have a hard time physically.
