Rukh player Yuriy Kopyna commented on his first match after returning to the lineup of the "yellow-blacks" and the result of the game against Dynamo.
"Before the game, there were great emotions. But of course, this is not the debut match I was expecting. I had a week-long training cycle with the team and prepared for this match. I don’t think I was out of the game, but towards the end of the match, I might have slowed down a bit, so the coaches made a substitution.
Now in Rukh, there is a young team and a modern, high-quality infrastructure has appeared. Despite their youth, these players understand the importance of the match against Dynamo, and no extra motivation is needed. In this match, we essentially scored three goals for ourselves and the result was set.
We have our own playing principles on how the team should act on the field and press the opponent. Some things worked, and some didn’t. We lost fairly and the score is very disappointing. But this is only the start of the season, so we will not give up and will prepare for the next matches,” quotes Kopyna the official website of Rukh.
