Dario Srna: "At first, Kryvbas said they were rooting for us in Europe, but in the end they did not agree to postpone the game"

Shakhtar Donetsk's sporting director Dario Srna shared his impressions after yesterday's 3-0 win over Kryvbas in the 17th round of the Ukrainian championship and spoke about the details of the organization of the match, which took place in Kryvyi Rih.

- I can only congratulate the team. You all know the history of our relationship with Kryvbas. They did not want to postpone the game to help themselves and the entire Ukrainian football. It took us a long time to get here, but the team that fights for the whole of Ukraine came here and worked hard! The team did a great job, they showed their "miner's" character.

We asked Kryvbas to postpone the match from this date altogether. At first, they claimed that they were rooting for us in Europe, but in the end they did not agree to postpone the game. I think this is an ugly football decision. In today's situation, the law should be the same for everyone, and it is called helping each other. I will say right away that in such a situation, when Kryvbas plays in European competitions, we will definitely meet them halfway and reschedule the match. I wish them success and access to the European Cups, and we will meet them halfway.

We are in first place, where we wanted to be, so we have done a great job. "Kryvbas really charged us, but now we are preparing for the match on Thursday. In the Netherlands, we will play for Shakhtar and all Ukrainian football," Srna said.
