Oleg Pechorny: "Someone from Shakhtar keeps a gun in his pocket and says that we are friends with Dynamo"

Oleh Pechorny, the head of the Association of Football Players of Ukraine, noted the importance of rescheduling the match between Shakhtar and Dynamo, which is scheduled to take place on October 16.

— If UPL and Shakhtar really did not go to the Dynamo meeting and did not want to postpone this game to Monday, October 17, or Tuesday, for example, then they did very badly. There is a war going on in our country and people must go to meet each other. This is a top match that is very important and interesting for our fans. The game will be held without the support of the stands - there will be no issues with tickets if it is moved to a day or two later. But in our football, there are double standards again: Shakhtar's UPL match can be postponed and it is also possible to give more time for recovery. One can conclude that someone from Shakhtar has a gun in his pocket and says that Dynamo and I are friends. In words, we unite, but in deed, Swan, Cancer and Pike pull in their directions.

Moreover, at this time, "Real" and "Barcelona" will play. Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin has a great chance to play in this match. Many Ukrainian fans would like to see this game. I think most of them will do so, preferring the Spanish classic. Not only will the audience not be present in the stands, but also near the screens will be reduced due to such an unfortunate decision with the appointment of the day and time.

I would like to contact Renat Leonidovych - he can solve this issue in one minute. One call and the match will be postponed. We must respect each other, go to a meeting and be united, especially in times of war. Therefore, I ask him to intervene and give the opportunity to Ukrainian fans in the rear and at the front to enjoy two classics. The boys need a break from the war, even for an hour or two.
