The head coach of "Alexandria," Ruslan Rotan, explained how his team maintains its leading positions in the current Ukrainian championship (after 10 matches played, Alexandria shares first and second place in the standings with "Dynamo" — both teams have 26 points).
"The motivation of the guys has changed. They listen to us and try to improve their game. Where we drew last season, we are now winning. This is a big plus. In the current Ukrainian championship, we often win by a minimal margin. I want to win easily and derive satisfaction from victories. Then we can expect high places.
Whose progress impressed you the most? Many of the guys made me happy. It won’t be a secret to say that Ivan Kalyuzhny has made progress. Vashchenko — our young player — deserves to play more, and we will try to give him that opportunity. We have young footballers who need to progress,” Rotan’s words are quoted by SportArena.
