Sports commentator Vitaly Volochai spoke in more detail about a curious incident that happened on Ukrainian football television.

— I commented on the Freiburg match on Setanta that day, it was at 6:30 p.m. During the second half, Yura Kyrychenko came up to me and handed me a piece of paper on which was written: "Hello. Union - Stuttgart at 8:30 p.m. Can you replace me?".

When the ball was kicked out, I got upset and apologized to Yura, because I had the second match of the day. It was physically very difficult for me to take the third. Besides, the Union match would finish at 10:25 p.m., and I might not be able to get home before curfew. He said "Okay" and went on with his work.

As far as I know, the Fenerbahçe vs. Fatih Karagyumruk match did not have a commentator in the schedule we had on MEGOGO at the beginning of the week. Maybe something has changed there. I don't know who asked him to be substituted and how it turned out, but it shouldn't have been the case that he had to stand for those two matches. But somehow it happened. Why he did not make a choice in favor of one or another match is another question. But that's how things turned out.

In relation to the viewer, this is wrong, it is disrespectful. There are no questions here. But damn, it's brilliant. I don't know if I could do that. I set myself a task, I want to try to repeat it at home. I will never do this on air.

Commenting on Real Madrid is easy, Cremonese vs Sampdoria is also ok. And when you comment on "Nantes" at two in the afternoon, the sun is shining, and they have a yellow-and-purple uniform, green-light numbers and 11 black-skinned football players, then you're like: "What's going on?".

And Kyrychenka had two such matches: "Fenerbahce", "Karagyumryuk" and "Union" play in a striped uniform, and the numbers are not visible. I don't know how to put it all in my head. Therefore, I give Yuri a 5 for the attempt, and for the implementation... - said Volochai.

It will be recalled that Yuriy Kyrychenko commented on two football matches simultaneously live on two different channels.
