The head coach of the Lviv Movement Vitaliy Ponomaryev commented on the beginning of training sessions before the start of the second half of the season.

“The team gathered after the vacation. All the guys were happy to see each other. Our plans are unchanged – Rukh is preparing for the second part of the season. We are working in the usual mode and we have full meetings ahead of us.

During the first stage of the winter training, we will pay the main attention to the physical training of the players. They will have a lot of running work now. While in Slovenia, the team will play sparring matches with strong opponents. Thanks to these matches, “Rukh” will be able to prepare well for the resumption of the UPL.

We have traditionally included players from the U-19 and Rukh-2 teams in the first team. We also train with players who are in the club watching. For now, I will not say who will stay and who will leave the team, because for this we have to go through meetings that will show everything.

Of course, you want reinforcements for each position, because they are all important. Bohdan Slyubik went to the meeting with Dynamo Kyiv, other positions also need strengthening.

Our task has not changed – we have to win every match. The main thing for us is the development of football players, and the team will work for this as before,” the press service of the club quotes Ponomarev as saying.

Earlier it was reported that Semotyuk returned from Rukh to Kryvbas.
