The head coach of “Oleksandriya” Ruslan Rotan shared his thoughts on the rumors that the midfielder of his team Ivan Kalyuzhny has piqued the interest of a number of clubs, including Kyiv’s “Dynamo” and Donetsk’s “Shakhtar”.
— What do you think about the rumors that Kalyuzhny is being sent to both “Dynamo” and “Shakhtar” and abroad?
— Neither us nor him need to pay attention to all these rumors right now. We have current tournament tasks, and we are all focusing on them. If there is a concrete offer, I have no doubts that everything will be handled properly: the management and Ivan himself will consider and make the best decision.
I understand that specialists have been watching and continue to watch Ivan closely, as it was quite evident in the championship that he is a quality and responsible player. The fact that there are many teams interested in Kalyuzhny is true — and it’s not a coincidence. But everything has its time — for now, all our thoughts are on the upcoming match.
