Journalist and commentator Viktor Vatsko commented on the draw result in the match of the 15th round of the Ukrainian championship between Shakhtar and Rukh.
Viktor Vatsko“Who did Shakhtar play against? They played against a combat kindergarten. With the youngest team in the UPL. Is Shakhtar scared? Does Shakhtar fear playing football? They are just defending against the bus in the second half, without any hint of a counterattack? Yes, what about style? What about the philosophy of ‘better to lose than to win ugly’? I can't get it in my head, Shakhtar created no serious moments.
“Rukh” is currently in a pit. The team has won 1 out of the last 9 matches, winning against “Lviv” after a dubious penalty. And Shakhtar is closing down in defense against SUCH an opponent? Seriously? Shakhtar, which pays 15 million euros for football players. Shakhtar, whose core is the players of the Ukrainian national team. Shakhtar, whose monthly salary for 2 key players equals the monthly salary of the entire first team of Rukh.
So this is the Shakhtar that goes against the kids and what, does it get kicked on the field? How else to say it? If the biggest stars of Ukrainian football, bolstered by expensive Brazilians, are unable to conduct at least one decent counterattack,” Vatsko is quoted by the Telegram channel Sport Arena.
