Famous Ukrainian coach Vyacheslav Grozny criticised FIFA and UEFA for their anti-Ukrainian wartime rules.
- Few people know that matches under the auspices of the organisation in force majeure situations are held at UEFA's expense! But none of the European football officials even offered us, our clubs, this option. On the contrary, it was decided that players can leave Ukrainian football clubs freely and without payment and move wherever they wish. This is completely absurd!
The clubs bought players for a lot of money, invested a lot of money in their training, and instead of taking the side of the Ukrainian clubs and protecting their interests, UEFA defended the intermediary agents. And they gladly used and continue to use this situation in their personal interests.
Was it really so difficult to make a decision regarding specific players who temporarily left the location of Ukrainian clubs because of the war, to automatically extend their contracts for the period of their absence? There would have been no need to invent anything.
I am sure that Shakhtar Donetsk will win all the courts. The top-level lawyers they will engage will help them. Remember the Bosman case. There was a Jean-Marc Bosman who fought against FIFA and UEFA, hired lawyers and won all the cases. Since then, so-called free agents have appeared, in short," the expert said.
