The coach of the Lviv team shared his thoughts before the game with Vorskla.

Head coach of the Lviv Rukh Vitaly Ponomariov commented on the preparation of his team before the upcoming UPL match against Poltava Vorsk.

" Poltava is a good team, having represented Ukraine in European competitions at the beginning of the season. Then, perhaps, it was difficult for them both in terms of physical training and in other objective situations, so they were not yet at the peak of their form. Meanwhile, our rival has already gained momentum - in the first round, Vorskla defeated Dnipro-1 and the team is showing clear results. This will be a difficult match for us.

For us, skin play is important and necessary, and Rukh pursued his ideas and acted on the field from a position of power, pushing into aggressive football. Not all matches were able to be held consistently on a good level, there were a number of failed matches, but this is a natural process during the formation of a team. At the same time, there have been a lot of nice and bitter fights among our new team, and it is clear that the enemies are progressing.

Young people are never stable, but failure is a good lesson for them. Both the graves and the coaching staff are working on the basics after the skin fight and we are trying to do this so as not to repeat them in the future. Golovne, or the boys immediately informed us, carried out a correct analysis of their actions and professionally met their obligations,” Ponomar’s press service said to the club.

Guess what, the match between Vorskla and Rukh will take place in the week, 10 April, at 13:00 Kyiv time.
