One of the coaches of Luhansk “Zarya,” Sergey Rudenko, summarized yesterday’s match of his team against Zhytomyr’s “Polesie” (1:1) in the 14th round of the Ukrainian Championship.
“We knew how “Polesie” could beat us. And the guys, I believe, did the task 100 percent. We closed the opponent’s fast flanks and could have scored not just one goal, but two, or maybe even three.
The aim was to win, so we are not very satisfied with the result. But to avoid angering God, a point is a point.
God willing, the guys continue to play like this — with such a mindset, with such a desire to win. This is what we want to see on the field, what the spectators want to see on the field. This is football, it is a service sphere, and spectators in the stands and in front of the television want to see a show. And we strive to convey this to the guys, so that they continue to show such inspiring play,” said Rudenko on the YouTube channel “UPL TV.”
