Rukh lost minimally to the Carpathians
Head coach Ruha Vitaly Ponomarev was pleased with the team’s performance in the match with Carpathians (0:1) in the tenth round UPL.
“I think the derby was a success today, and the audience liked the game. Both one and the other team had dangerous moments, and the fate of the match was decided by a single set-piece goal, as often happens in derbies. In general, there was quality football on the field today.”
“For Rukh, every match is important and it is important to get a positive result in every game. Yes, it was a fundamental match, but in the championship all victories, draws and defeats are valued the same – at 3, 1 and 0 points. Our players gained invaluable experience, because they had never played in such emotional matches before. Perhaps not everyone was mentally prepared for this game because it is difficult for young players to play under such pressure. I am sure that such matches will raise the rating of our championship.”
“It was not a difficult tactical match, but a more emotional game. Both teams tried to play rationally. Although there were many moments, so the fight was spectacular. In some episodes, Roc just didn’t have enough luck.”
“Mark Sapuga, Evgeniy Pastukh and Freddy Pluman have returned after a long recovery. I think they played well, although they are not yet ready to play the full 90 minutes. These guys are quality players, and they were able to strengthen the game when they came on as substitutes. We hope that they will get in shape and play fully in the future, because these are the players in the starting lineup.”
“Now it is important to recover properly in order to approach the next matches in optimal physical condition. The main emphasis in training will be on the recovery of the players. This game should be a lesson for them and the team should move on.”
Rukh missed after a free kick at the end of the first half. In the second half of the meeting, Ponomarev’s team created many dangerous moments, but were unable to come back.
Rukh is in seventh place in the UPL with 13 points. In the next round, Ponomarev’s team will play at home against Chernomorets on October 25.
