Artem Fedetsky: “Critics of Rotana now on a horse”

After the departure of Alexandria from the League of Conferences, the struggle in the European Cups from Ukraine is continued by Dynamo, Shakhtar and Polissya. And if the Dynamo and Miners of the case on two fronts somehow go, then the Zhytomyr residents encountered a problem. The team passed two qualifying rounds of the conference League, but in the championship the wards of Ruslan Rotan have already lost two matches in a row in three starting rounds.

About the reasons for these misfires exclusively site Sport.ua The former defender of the national team of Ukraine told Artem Fedetsky.

– In your opinion, Artemus, what is the reason not quite successful results of “Polesie” at the start of the season?
-Whatever the financial component of the Zhytomyr team, there is experience, more precisely, its absence of many players of Polesie, playing every three to four days. Plus, constant crossings have a negative impact. Players have virtually no recovery time.

Suppose that the LNZ players do not surpass in the class of Polesie players, but Vitaliy Ponomarev’s team purposefully prepared for this confrontation, but the Zhytomyr residents came to the game, in fact, from wheels. Therefore, the advantage of the Cherkasy team was felt.

Now Ruslan Rotan’s critics, they say, the team in the new season played seven matches and suffered four defeats, but I am sure that the coaching staff takes a little time for the players to fully accept the requirements of the head coach. Then the results in the Polesie will go up. Here, as in the case of Alexandria, the players need to gather all their efforts in a fist and take this transition as soon as possible.

Also now you need to forget the defeat from the LNZ and prepare for Fiorentina, since the championship can still be recovered, but in the European Cups this opportunity may not be.

– That is, the victory over the Italians in the conference League will cross the sadness from the defeat in the championship?
– Of course. Only three rounds were played in UPL, the whole struggle ahead. Many teams are amazed. Obolon, which most often after three rounds was in the basement of the standings, has now gained seven points. The Carpathians were also surprised.

– With a minus sign?
– Yes. Although the rivals were more complicated. But Lviv residents can still be recovered because they have the task of fighting for the European Cups.

– Despite the fact that Polissya was headed by a new coach, this team is still among the contenders for the prize place. And who else, in your opinion, is capable if you do not compete Dynamo and Shakhtar, but be somewhere near?
– Again, in the course of the season there can be a lot to change, but if we talk about the start, then I like “Colossus”, LNZ, to whom Vitaliy Ponomarev has already put a good game. I will stay on these teams so far.
