Roman Hryhorchuk on his player hitting Ingulets coach: "There is a small plus point here"

Chornomorets head coach Roman Grigorchuk commented on the episode from the 1-3 friendly match against Ingulets, in which Odesa midfielder Zigi Badibanga hit the opposition assistant coach Igor Yermakov.

- I am categorically against such actions when players, I don't know, go a little overboard. I think that in any training game, you have to behave in such a way that even if there is a conflict brewing, even if there is a provocation or a chance of a provocation, you have to behave in such a way that you put it all out.

It's important to understand that the main thing for us is to play and train, not to sort out our relations or anything like that. That's why I think it's very wrong.

Thank God that the player who was involved or directly involved in this apologised to literally everyone, so this issue is closed. But there is only a small nuance to this. As a rule, such things happen to people who love football.

Because people who are not very keen or have an equal attitude to football, as a rule, this does not happen to them. And these people, the one good thing I can take and talk about this person is that he is a very principled footballer. A footballer who wants to win all the time, and there is a small plus here. But it's more of a minus," Grigorchuk said.
