Igor Jovicevich: “There was an incomprehensible refereeing in the match against Rukh. Very incomprehensible...”

The head coach of Shakhtar Donetsk Igor Jovicevich commented on his team's victory over Rukh Lviv (1:0) in yesterday's match of the 3rd round of the Ukrainian Championship.

“In general, we were in the opponent’s half of the field, looking for holes in the defense, trying to clearly transfer the ball. We lacked more innings to score not with the first pace, but with the second one. And what we did during the goal is exactly what I was talking about at half-time. Especially when you play in the minority, you need to make three or four passes in the center in order to reach flank positions and serve, then you score with the second pace if you do not score first.

I think we deservedly won, although the game was very difficult and refereeing was incomprehensible, as for me. Very incomprehensible. And this is not the first time. I don’t know what this is connected with, but I think everyone should analyze: I will analyze my game so that we can be even better and more effective in the next matches, but I would like the referee committee to also analyze their work, ”said Jovicevich.
