The head coach of the team summarized the first match of the Olympic team.
Olympic team head coach Ruslan Rotan sees the lack of experience among football players as the main reason for his players’ defeat.
We remind you that on the eve of our Olympic football team held its first match.
In the Japanese city of Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture, the Ukrainian U-23 team played a friendly match against their peers from Japan. Ruslan Rotan’s team lost with a score of 0:2.
“I would like to congratulate the Japanese team on their victory. We really wanted to win, it was a good sparring and the Japanese played well.
Today we often lost the ball in the middle of the field. Japanese players hit very fast, and our young players have no experience playing on the road, so their adaptation is not good,” said Rotan as quoted by nikkan sports.
