Former head coach of Kyiv Dynamo and the Ukraine national football team Yozhef Sabo talked about officiating in the Ukrainian championship.
"Officiating in the current Ukrainian championship is a very sensitive issue, and it has not been resolved for a long time. Time passes and it remains at a very low level. Other countries also have problems, but there it is mainly the interpretation of episodes, offside. We have VAR, they showed replays when a referee made a mistake. We have VAR in only one match of the tour.
And I am surprised that there was no VAR in the match Shakhtar v Minaya. After all, the leader and reigning champion are playing! Besides, we were told that they had purchased VAR machines. Where are they? I thought maybe assistants would help Balakin define the goal, but no. It's incorrigible.
That's the way football is. Refereeing is where you can make money. Let them not be offended, I've seen so many of them. And now young people have come in, maybe they are not very professional", Vesti.ua quoted Sabo as saying.
