The head coach of «Chornomorets», Oleksandr Babich, shared his emotions after the controversial match of the Ukrainian championship against «Oleksandriya».
Oleksandr Babich«First of all, we understand that we want to play football. We do not want help and do not want our competitor or opponent to be helped.
I believe that primarily in the first half, the goal scored after the free kick, then they didn’t give a 100% yellow card, maybe even a red card for Belyaev, and this created such nerves. The referee provoked with his actions… I think it was a foul by Belyaev on Butko — a clear yellow. If Butko had been a little smarter — he could have earned a red card for Oleksandriya. He is the captain, so he immediately stood up and began to express his grievances to the referee.
And also the first yellow card for Butko. Bezerra dives at the slightest contact in the penalty area and there was confusion. They were shouting: 'That's a penalty,' and everything started from there. These are emotions, it's normal. I am very satisfied with my guys because they played as one team. Yes, they didn't show spectacular football, but it was a team. I agree that someone may have adjusted, but that’s football. It’s better let it be this way.
Petryak is primarily a person. He cannot offend. And when he sees a 100% violation — he gets upset. It happens. The same Rud’ko — he couldn’t handle him.
I will shake hands with each of our players. There will be certain conclusions, but not for the players who earned red cards — we will talk to them separately — but for the players who came on as substitutes», — Babich is quoted by the Telegram channel FootballHub with a reference to «Profootball Digital».
