The head coach of Donetsk Shakhtar, Arda Turan, commented on the conflict situation after the match with Zhytomyr Polissya (0:0) in the 9th round of the Ukrainian championship.
— I respect the Polissya coach and their coaching staff. I only talked to the referee, I didn’t discuss anything with them. But if they say something about us, we are here for Shakhtar. I defend my players, I defend my coaches. I can do anything for my players. That’s one side. On the other hand, I greatly respect the Polissya organization, but there are things I don’t like. If they act this way, I don’t like it because we didn’t address them. But if they speak to us, then we can talk to anyone, — said Turan.
