Mysyk: We are upset by the draw with Metalist 1925, we are looking at the table, but the task is not to get hung up on it

FC Rukh midfielder Marian Mysyk shared his opinion about the away game against Metallist 1925, which took place at the Bannikov Stadium in Kyiv.

— Maryan, what can you say about the match?

– I would not say that it was a very difficult meeting for us. The game, as they say, was given. But in the attack we lacked the last pass, some kind of non-standard move. The first 20 minutes in this meeting were generally successful for us, we put pressure and created chances at the gates of Kharkiv. The only thing missing was a goal scored.

– Already in the 6th minute of the meeting, the referee Vitaly Romanov sent off the defender Metalist 1925 Tkachuk. What happened there?

– Yuriy Klimchuk played ahead of the curve, and Zhenya Tkachuk threw him onto the lawn with his hands.

– It is clear that both Rukh and Metalist 1925 wanted to win this match. Now the situation is not easy for Rukh in the standings…

– We need to score points to the maximum, in each meeting. For Rukh, every game is like a final. Now we are upset by a draw. 80 minutes to play powerplay and not win…

– Could you pair a tall forward with Klimchuk?

– This is the vision of the head coach. Klimchuk is a good, fast striker. Yura is a scoring striker, and today he was looking for his chance, but did not find it. Yes, and my game in this meeting, I’m dissatisfied. I had to score, give assists.

– There are six games left before the end of the Ukrainian championship. Do you often look at the standings?

– Let’s see. Everyone supports us: both the coaching staff and the club’s management. Our task is to play football and not get hung up on the standings.

– Have the Rukh players already understood the requirements of the new head coach of the team, Vitaly Ponomarev?

“I like his approach to football. Our mentor loves attacking, aggressive football, often uses high pressure.
