Head coach of Polissia Ruslan Rotan, having commented on the result of the draw for another qualifying round of the Conference League 2026/27, transfers the official website of the Zhytomyr club.

The new European Cup campaign of the Rotan team will begin with two matches (23. 07 and 30. 07) against Copenhagen.

" Of course, if you have a cat with teams from Faroe, from the same and from Estonia, you definitely don’t want such a rival in the first match. But it is necessary to marvel at the foal very simply: whoever has lost. There are still two matches, and there is nothing to fight for. The most important thing is to re-magnify. That Copenhagen has one goal - to pass us, and that we have the same goal - to pass Copenhagen. Why are we playing I am confident that we know that they are a strong opponent, we know that it will be even harder against them, and our mood, our motivation will be at a high level, 100%. In such moments I say to him: the ball is round, the field is square.

Virus of patients? You know, patients may be able to analyze, but they are not part of the team and do not understand the training that the boys do. And I can say it very simply: for the boys this is a chance to spend more, and for this chance we need to fight. I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it again: it’s a supernik, it’s us, it’s glory. When we play, we take glory for ourselves. As soon as we program, we give all the glory to the super competitor - it’s very simple, and also pennies. That's why it's so easy in football. I think that our gravel wants his mother’s glory, he wants to show himself the best, he wants to play in the collection, and he just needs to take this glory. Because if you take this glory, you give a chance, because you beat strong opponents and you become the strongest yourself. These are just the same great rewards that we seem to have, and such a reward is very early in life.

What does it mean to rewatch the control matches in Copenhagen? The rank of the Gravians from the first day, and the rank of the team and organization itself. This is an organized team, this is a disciplined team with very clear gravels of the level of the Champions League, the group stage, naked, the European League - this is a team of the level of Fiorentini.

After these two games with Fiorentina, he said to the boys:

“Lads, it is our fault to remember this evidence and this faith.”. 0:3 first match, and in the other match maximum concentration, motivation, super discipline gave us the ability, leading 2:0, to fight for the right to pass. What a very respectful little croc. It didn’t work out for us, but there is evidence, and it is precisely this evidence that is guilty of moving here,” the specialist said.

Guess what, it became clear earlier that Zhytomyr residents will take over Copenhagen.
