Alexandria tied with Veres in a productive match
Head coach Alexandria Ruslan Rotan commented on the draw in the match with Veres (2:2) in the 29th round Ukrainian Premier League.
“Alexandria is a team playing the most entertaining football in this championship. It is a fact. We score a lot and concede a lot. The fans like it. But this is a problem for the coaching staff.”
“The start of the match was ours. We understood that this match was like the last for Veres. Therefore, it was important not to lose to the opponent in the mood. After scoring a quick goal, the guys decided that the match was already over. And this again created problems for us. This is not possible and we will talk about this again with the team. We must strive to score more and close the game.”
“Before the break, there was no leader in our team on the field. He appeared after the break. We had a serious talk in the locker room and got ready. I liked the second half. Difficulties with implementation. But skill and class are something that needs to be developed in training.”
“We were able to come back and wanted to win. This is positive. But we need to concentrate better on the game and strive to score more.”
“In general, this season is a time of restructuring for us. Year of renewal. At the start of the championship, fourteen players left the team. We are working. The guys are trying to develop. But it takes time to put the game on. There is progress. We didn’t get ten points during the season for various reasons. We are on the right track. And the results of this work will be shown next season.”
Alexandria took the lead in the match with Veres after a goal from Nikolai Mikhailenko, but then conceded twice. In the second half, Rotan’s team was able to snatch a draw, and Mikhailenko scored a double.
Alexandria is in 11th place in the UPL with 31 points. In the last round, the Rotan team will play with Obolon on May 25.
