Ukrainian midfielder of the Italian “Genoa” Ruslan Malinovskyi spoke about his long recovery from a severe injury.
Ruslan Malinovskyi— I feel good now. I am very happy to be back on the field. My goal is to return and play again. The first two months were the hardest, as it is difficult to stay focused when you cannot train. But I always maintained a positive attitude and tried to move only forward.
Not every week went smoothly, but I remained focused. When I returned to training, I saw a high level of competition, which is extremely important. Every player wants to get on the field, and this raises the team’s level.
Maintaining this balance is a very challenging task for the head coach; competition is related not only to technique and tactics but also to mentality. You have to wait for your chance and take it, — noted Ruslan in a comment to Sky Sports.
