Midfielder Dynamo Ruslan Rotan told about the return to the Kiev club and plans for the future.
According to Rotan, he learned about Dinamo's interest from his agent Vyacheslav Zakhovailo.
"Just went on vacation after the last game of the Europa League - and I got a call from Vyacheslav Zakhovailo, asked:" Is there any interest? How do you look? ". I immediately said: "Two hands" for "If there really is interest in me, I am ready and will work". So the first conversations began, then they began to discuss the details, everything quickly turned out. A big role was played by the fact that this is Ukraine and is far from being a stranger to my club, "Ruslan said in an interview with the club's official website.
In 2005, Rotan was already moving to Dynamo from the Dnieper.
"It's really been a long time, I do not remember all the nuances. I remember that there was a motivation to play in the Champions League. Dynamo is Dynamo, from such proposals do not refuse ".
The first season for Ruslan in Dynamo has developed quite well.
"Everything was fine. Further change of coaches left its mark. Plus, my injury, received in the game for the national team, she beat me out for about six months. Memories are very good, warm, everything basically worked out well. This is a football life, from injuries no one is insured, I'm including, you need to be ready for this. I was young, did not understand much. Now everything is foreseen, in this respect, as a football player has become smarter and more mature ".
However, he lost his place at the heart of the club and returned to his native Dnieper. However, Rotan did not feel disappointed.
"I took it for granted, did not think about it. It is clear that every football player wants to be useful everywhere, to help the club. But this is how the football life develops, that somewhere it did not work out. Moreover, the Dnieper is also my native club. Then everything was adjusted, with new forces began to play ".
Now Ruslan is being picked up with a new-old team.
"Fees are always hard for a football player, and in Dynamo especially. Dynamo has always been famous for its physical training. Of course, here we are working on physics very much. Everybody understands that this baggage is definitely needed for further victories, and they work with pleasure ".
So far, Rotan had no serious conversation with Alexander Khatskevich about the prospects for the team.
"We did not have global conversations. Before signing the contract, we met and discussed everything, he said he hopes for me and trusts, and I have to deserve everything else with my work. This is what any coach will say and it's right.. I also compete with young players, and not only with young players. This is normal, this is correct and this can only be the best result ".
At 36, Rotan has not yet thought about coaching career.
"Honestly did not even think about it and it's probably wrong. To become a coach you need to throw out a football player of yourself and then make some ideas.
When players start thinking about a coaching career, they are completely different thoughts. Thoughts of the football player and the coach do not match. The football player always reacts emotionally to everything and thinks that everything can, there it will turn out, there it will not turn out. A coach should always be with a cold head ".
Dynamo currently lagging behind Shakhtar for three points in the standings of the championship of Ukraine, but so far it is unclear the fate of the match against Kiev against Kiev against Mariupol.
