The head coach of Rovno’s Veres Oleg Shandruk named the main prerequisite for the greatest success in the history of the Ukrainian national team—the advancement to the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup.
Andriy Bali and Oleg Blokhin (photo: odessa-sport.info)— I think that the success in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup is the result of the collaboration of two absolutely different specialists—Bali and Blokhin. It was this collaboration that yielded such a result. I would call Oleg Blokhin’s style mild authoritarianism. And Andriy Bali is a liberal person. The combination of these two individuals maintained a golden mean. This allowed us to achieve such results, — Shandruk is confident.
