Well-known journalist Mykola Nesenyuk spoke on the basis of the news that "Shakhtar" Donetsk will not play its two postponed matches of the Ukrainian championship this year - against "Minaya" and "Lviv".
Mykola Nesenyuk"Today, the Shakhtar team will play their last calendar match of the current year in Lviv against Vorskla. The two postponed matches of the 6th and 9th rounds against Lviv and Mynaya, respectively, will take place in the spring. Such information was disseminated by the Ukrainian mass media.
No official statement on this matter from the organization that conducts the Ukrainian football championship has yet been made public. And it is this organization that proudly calls itself the "premier league" that has the right to appoint or postpone matches.
In fact, this is not the case - there is no "premier league" in Ukraine. There are several workers whose chairs are placed in the premises of the Ukrainian Football Association, and who formally compile the calendar of the championship. But nothing is solved! I suspect that the aforementioned "Premier League" employees were the last to learn about the decision of the same "Shakhtar" not to play the match of the sixth round with "Alexandria" before the Champions League game. At least not the first ones, that's for sure. They were simply put on notice.
Why so? Why did the organization, which was supposed to ensure compliance with the norms of its own regulations in the championship of Ukraine, find itself in such a position? Why do football clubs themselves agree where to play among themselves or not to play at all?
The decision to postpone Shakhtar's games for the sake of the Champions League is still understandable, although it did not help the team - Shakhtar was still relegated from that Champions League. But then why weren't the matches of "Dnipro" and "Dynamo", which also played in the European Cups at the same time as "Shakhtar", postponed? Let's say that the Champions League is more important than other European cups. But why can't Shakhtar play the two postponed matches after November 24? The team is located in Lviv, so you don't have to go anywhere to meet Lviv, but you can reach Minai with Lviv! What's in the way? What keeps the team so busy at the end of November? Counting the mythical billions of billions for the transfer of Mudrik?
Rumor has it that Shakhtar's management is allegedly very disappointed by the defeat by Dnipro and is afraid that the team will not lose points with the teams that are currently in the eleventh (Minai) and last sixteenth (Lviv) places in the table. Therefore, it was decided not to risk it just in case. There is no one to ask about the fact that the postponement of the matches of one of the teams for more than three months puts it in unequal conditions with its competitors and violates the sports principle. Not with the same "premier league" workers who are only informed about decisions made without them, or forget to inform.
Who exactly does this? Who really hosts the championship of Ukraine? And can each team suddenly declare that they are tired and will not play the postponed matches? Damn these questions! — as the famous hero of Podervyanskyi said..." Nesenyuk wrote on his page on the Facebook social network.
