The head coach of Odessa’s Chernomorets, Alexander Kucher, commented on the debut in his team of the famous Ukrainian defender Yaroslav Rakitsky, which took place in today’s match of the 22nd round of the Ukrainian championship against Lviv’s Karpaty (0:4). In this match, the 35-year-old player entered the game in the 76th minute.
Alexander Kucher“Rakitsky — yes, you saw it: the man is not ready, but he came on and looked quite good on the field. Yes, he still lacks the condition that we would like to see, but I think, over time, we will give him more timing to play.
We have training sessions and, of course, we will prepare him, and gradually, perhaps, someday we will see him in the next games.
Boos directed at Rakitsky from the stands? I don’t know, that question is more for the fans. I don’t understand why they did that,” Kucher said.
