“Osipenko is the leader of both the defense and the team. With him you really progress” – Rostov defender Vakhania
Rostov defender Ilya Vakhania spoke about the influence of teammate Maxim Osipenko on the team’s players.
On Monday, Rostov tied with Orenburg in the match of the 14th round of the WORLD RPL. Defender Osipenko distinguished himself as part of Valery Karpin’s team. In the 33rd minute of the game, he missed a penalty.
— I can’t say that we worked on our defensive game separately. But Maxim Osipenko returned, and in terms of confidence it became easier. With him the defense is much more reliable. Plus, Sergei Pesyakov looks great – he made saves more than once in recent matches. If it weren’t for him, it might not have been possible to keep a clean sheet.
Osipenko is the leader of both the defense and the team, 100 percent. Even if you look at training, he always gives advice. With him you really progress,” Vakhania is quoted as saying by “Championship.”
The Rostov team is in 10th place in the WORLD RPL with 17 points. In the next round, Karpin’s team will meet Spartak on a foreign field.
