Head coach of Lviv Ruhu Vitaly Ponomariov commented on the upcoming UPL match against Zhytomyr Poliss.

“We have three close matches this year: a game with Shakhtar and two matches with Polissyam. These are very serious opponents that we played in the first two matches. Zhytomyr is an ambitious team that claims the highest place in the championship. For us, such games are a great success, and it is important for Rukh to show clear football in these matches and achieve a positive result.

In the first round, Rukh missed a point in many matches. We haven’t done a new analysis yet, but we’ll get to it after we go to the winter break. The team could be higher in the tournament table, if it were to compete with the championship, then you can ensure that everything goes evenly and it is important to convey the result of the actual match. We are five points ahead of the European Cup zone, and at the same time we are close to the teams that are lower than Rukh in the tournament table. It is not so important for us, but also for our superniks, to know that others will be great.

There is another match from Polissyam ahead in Rukha.

The Zhytomyr residents have the graves of their national teams, including the national team of Ukraine, and legionnaires. Their football players are even individually strong, so we need to prepare well for this match by analyzing our front group. If we clearly identify our opponent, then we can expect a positive result,” Ponomarova’s press service said to the club.

Guess what, the match between Polissia and Rukh will take place on Monday, 9 p.m., at 18:00 outside Kiev.
