Famous commentator Ihor Tsyhanyk explained why he called the Kyiv team "ours" several times during the broadcast of the Ukrainian championship match between Dynamo and Shakhtar.
- To be honest, I don't even concentrate on that. When they start talking about the commentator, it means they want to divert attention from the main thing: in that match, they didn't give a penalty to Rakytskyi; Shakhtar tore off the opponent's legs; Bondar and Bondarenko should have been given red cards.
They don't talk about this, they talk about what the commentator said. Why did I say that? Sometimes I do that, and I can say that word about Shakhtar. When I comment, I try to imagine what I would do for a particular team. And especially for a losing team.
The point is that when people start talking about the commentator, it means they want to divert attention from something. That's all. In this match, the referee was clearly working for Shakhtar," Tsyhanyk said on Footballhub.
