“There was more struggle than beautiful football”

Rukh head coach Vitaliy Ponomarev shared his impressions of the match of the 28th round of the UPL against Minay (draw 0:0):

“The first half was not good for us. Not everything worked out as planned. In the second half they made adjustments and already had an advantage. At this stage, there will be no beautiful football, because everyone needs points, everyone is trying to demonstrate rational football. Therefore, more struggle than beautiful football.

I think that a draw is a natural result. In our situation it is negative. We need points, because we are going to the zone of transitional matches. But there are still two fights, the guys are progressing, they understand our requirements, but the table forces us to be rational. The players are constrained and cannot show their best.”
