Shakhtar's Director of Football Dario Srna speaks about the postponement of matches in the Ukrainian Premier League next season.
"Everyone postponed matches, not just Shakhtar, the whole round. We did not postpone a single game before the game with Chornomorets. Not a single one. "Chornomorets asked us not to travel, but to play two matches in Kyiv on a neutral pitch. We agreed. And the criticism started. And before that, no one said anything when some clubs postponed three matches from away to home.
Do you want to say it officially, publicly? I'm speaking on behalf of Shakhtar here: let's agree that no one postpones either matches or cities - we'll sign such a document. We are against this. I understand, believe me, the players are tired. It's a long journey from Europe. And all this is understandable. But we all play on a level playing field.
And to avoid any more such stories, Shakhtar proposes not to postpone matches at all, not to move cities. We play everything as it should be, as scheduled," the UPL.TV telegram channel quoted Srna as saying, citing the TaToTake YouTube channel.
