Polissya head coach Ruslan Rotan spoke about the ambitions of the Zhytomyr Club.

“First of all, we really want to be on the same level with the Champions League teams, we are striving for it, this is the most important thing.

I would like to play with PSG, a team that is the strongest and Europe today. She won the Champions League, she plays football that is a showcase today, so we also strive for it.

When you play with such teams, you grow up. I am sure that these 2 matches with Fiorentina have given us a lot of experience for the future, 100 percent, because in such matches you grow.

Let this result be unsuccessful today, but I am sure that we have grown – psychologically and play. Unfortunately, we do not have the proper level yet, because confidence gives a lot.

Comparing even these two matches with a filament. Losing 0: 3 after the 1st game, go out to the match-response and believe that it can be changed-in fact it was. I saw the guys burning their eyes as they believed in it …

And then, after the missed goal, it all changed – unfortunately, our mentality. That is why I would just like this mentality to change in us that we are more confident in our abilities and more believed in ourselves, “Rotan said.
