The head coach of Zhytomyr’s Polissya, Ruslan Rotan, spoke with journalists ahead of the first playoff match of the qualifying round for the Conference League against the Italian Fiorentina.
Ruslan Rotan (photo: polissyafc.com)— I think that for us, the most important thing is to show our game. It is clear that Fiorentina is a very good team, of a high level, with big names. But first of all, we must impose our own football on the opponent.
Will Slovak fans support Polissya at the stadium in Prešov? I cannot know who they will cheer for. But I hope they will support us, as this game is a home game for us. We have already had the experience of the group stage of the Conference League in distant away games, and there we also felt that the stands were on our side. This inspires us,” Ruslan Petrovich said, in particular.
