Journalist Ihor Tsyhanyk criticized Shakhtar for not wanting to play in Kryvyi Rih on his Tsyhanyk Live program.
- "We will all be rooting for Shakhtar in the Europa League and that's right. We want the team to go as far as possible. But the circumstances are what they are, so why all these emotions? Let's count who travels how much in Ukraine. "Shakhtar wrote that they traveled for 19 hours, but do you know how much volunteers travel all over Ukraine? It's unimaginable.
Let's just decide to move the entire championship to Lviv and that's it. I understand that it will be very difficult for the Shakhtar in Rotterdam, very difficult. And of course, this trip will not be good for them. But we are all in such conditions now, well, really all in such conditions," Tsyganik said.
