Ruslan Kostyshyn: "According to the created moments, according to aggression - this is our best game"

"Kolos" head coach Ruslan Kostyshyn commented on the defeat of "Olexandria" in the 5th round of the VBET League (0-1):

In terms of content, this is probably our best game of the season - in the moments created, in aggression. But there were many moments at our gates. This is the championship of Ukraine - whoever scores the first goal then acts on counterattacks, looks better on counterattacks, plays better when there is space. Excluding our grandees. In terms of quality - one of the best games, in terms of account - defeat, that's all.

There is a saying that luck must be earned. When we are unlucky, when the ball does not go into the net, I do not want to write off the skill, this is the relationship between them, for the training process. Everyone needs to analyze - both the head coach and the players in their relationship. So something is wrong.

The situation with Volynets is difficult. He decides whether to have surgery or not. It will not be for a month or two. And if he decides to have the operation, it is for six months. Some doctors say to do surgery, others say not to do. If he was a field player, then, perhaps, no operation is needed, and he is a goalkeeper. According to Novak, everything is also serious there. He was bleeding, I understand it's not one month…

During the game, the team tried, but only effort is not enough. There must be some excitement, and we are a little tight. We got into turbulence. A difficult year for us. We always went up. Went to the Second League - won, went to the First League - fifth place, again fifth place, then went to the Premier League, two years in a row went to the European Cups. But every team has times to go through. Now comes the exam when we have to live it together. This situation shows more who is capable of what, who is next to you, and with whom you are in the same boat.
