The central defender of the Donetsk "Shakhtar" Yaroslav Rakitsky believes that you need to go to Mariupol and play football.

It should be noted that the Kiev Dynamo refused to come to the front-line city due to the tense situation in eastern Ukraine. The leadership of the vice-champions of the country explained its decision by the lack of guarantees from law enforcement agencies regarding the safe conduct of the match and the possible risk for football players and fans.

A different opinion is held by the player of the "miners" who said that the Donetsk team will in any case come to Mariupol for the game with the same name team.

"Are we afraid to go to Mariupol?". Beautiful city, sea near. I will be glad to see my friends footballers. They are great fellows, now they are going a long way. They have to go to Lviv, and in general throughout Ukraine will have to travel. I think that it is necessary to come to Mariupol, because it is Ukraine.

The situation with the match "Mariupol" - "Dynamo"? I can not say anything about this.

If they did not come to the game, let FFU decide how to act. As I understand it, this is a technical failure for failure to attend a match. We will go there - one hundred percent. I'm sure there will be a full stadium. And for us will be ill for "Mariupol". And everything will be fine, "Rakytsky concluded..

Recall that the meeting between "Mariupol" and "Dynamo" was to be held on August 27, while the game of "Miner" with "Azov" is scheduled for November 4.
