Ivan Kalyuzhny: «The player from Karpaty chased me the whole first half and pushed me in the back, and in the second half he spa

The midfielder of Kharkiv’s «Metalist 1925» Ivan Kalyuzhny explained his emotional behavior in yesterday’s match against Lviv’s «Karpaty» (2:1) in the 13th round of the Ukrainian championship.

«The referee should regulate all these emotions. In the first half, a Karpaty player with number 21 (Argentinian midfielder Tanda Patricio Damian, — editor’s note) chased me and pushed me in the back, and in the second half, he spat at me. No one noticed this, and I believe the referees should be competent in such moments because this player provokes the entire game. Let it be at their discretion,» said Kalyuzhny on the «UPL TV» YouTube channel.
