Rotan: Before the missed goal, we were completely positive, we had a complete advantage over Zorya

The head coach of Zhytomyr Polissya Ruslan Rotan commented on his team's defeat in the UPL match against Luhansk Zora (1:2). "First of all, before the missed goal we were completely positive, we had a complete advantage, we had to increase the score and bring the game to a logical conclusion. Everything that happened after the missed goal was the team's reaction, the desire to correct mistakes, to want to win... There was a lot, first of all, the opponent's psychological advantage appeared after we conceded: we became a completely different team, did not believe in our abilities, did not believe that we would score. The thing is that you need to be a team, go on the field and, no matter what the result, have a great desire to go forward, score goals, want to do it. When we conceded the second goal again due to our mistake, we had to always want to at least win. The injury of Volynets, the instability of Georgy Bushchan — a chance for Kudryk? I think it's a matter of competition and the training process. Everything is possible for everyone. We'll see in the next game. Sarapiy is injured. In principle, it was possible to take risks and prepare for this match, but we decided not to risk Edik's health. He will be ready for the next match. When you have a full advantage, are leading and the game is going well, you have to increase the pressure, continue in the same spirit and try to score goals. The most important thing in such situations is the problem of balance, counterattacks and reaction to the loss of the ball. Everything was in our hands today before we missed. We had every chance to score the second goal in the very attack when we conceded ourselves. If we had been more mature and treated our moments not as if they would fall from the broadcaster, but cherished them, I think we would have won this game," Rotanya, the club's press service, quoted as saying. A video review of the match between Polissia and Zorya is available on media.
