“Polissya head coach focused on the mental problems of their players”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Polissya head coach shared his opinion on the game of the team, the result and prospects on the eve of the second match. Rotan considers the main reason for the defeat of mental problems – his wards were confused after the goal was killed.
-Is it worth expecting changes in the composition for a match after such a result?
– The result should be accepted and analyzed. In a week we have to go out another team. We need to be hungry for victories and results. Closer to the game I will decide who will come out in the match. Let’s analyze the match, evaluate who is in the best form – and then make a decision.
– Babenko and Andrievsky said after the game that they felt strong pressure and nervousness. Did you surprise you?
– Indeed, I’m shocked. I did not feel that after the goal, we would become another team. I do not know what it is related to. Perhaps with excitement. But our team has experienced players. There should be no such. They should be more mentally ready. And after the missed we changed 180 degrees.
– What about Taylor? How serious is the injury?
– Something in the knee crushed. MRI must be made. Then it will be clearer. Now it’s hard to say something for sure.
– How is a coach, how do you perceive this defeat?
– First of all, I take the result. The boys, without a doubt, today prevented excitement. But we still have a game in which we can change everything. After this match, the team should become older, more experienced – and no more excitement should be at all.
– What do you do with mentality?
– I think you need to analyze everything quietly. Understand what happened to mentality. Because it should not be like that. It’s strange – to kill a goal and get lost. On the contrary, we had to play more confidently, more press. And in fact, after the scored ball, we allowed the opponent to work with the ball, make decisions, think – and this is difficult, – said Rotan.
