One of the coaches of Donetsk Shakhtar, Carlo Nicolini, explained why he showed the middle finger to the head coach of Zhytomyr’s Polissya, Ruslan Rotan, during yesterday’s match against this team in the 9th round of the Ukrainian championship.
A 'Moment of Conversation' Carlo Nicolini with Ruslan Rotan (television broadcast frame)’In the photos and videos appearing in the media, you can see the moment of my conversation with Ruslan Rotan. I approached him not for conflict, but to ask why his assistant allowed himself to make obscene gestures—middle finger—toward our bench.
Of course, during the match, emotions run high, but even in such situations, you must be able to control yourself and maintain respect.
After the final whistle, Ruslan and I calmly talked, clarified everything, and shook hands. For me, this is a closed issue,'—says Nicolini on Shakhtar’s Telegram channel.
