Midfielder of “Chornomorets” Ivan Petryak commented on his red card in the match of the Ukrainian championship against “Oleksandriya”.
“I do not absolve myself of blame. I’m ashamed — primarily in front of the guys we let down. I swore, argued, it’s emotions and my problem. But this happens to everyone and always — almost in every match players and referees speak in raised voices. And yes, the referees punish this with yellow cards, but never with direct red cards…”
To send off two players for swearing in very controversial situations is a sign of the attitude towards our team. And it burns precisely because experienced footballers find it hard to endure such disorder for 15 consecutive games. In every match, all minor fouls, every struggle — everything goes in our direction. Plus — more obvious moments with a bunch of unawarded penalties...” — quotes Petryak the telegram channel “TaToTake”.
