The FFU Arbitrators Committee previously appointed 38-year-old Anatoly Zhabchenko from Khmelnitsky as the main arbiter of the match for the Super Cup of Ukraine between Shakhtar and Dynamo.

"The confrontation between Shakhtar and Dynamo is a great match, it is the dream of many arbitrators, it is possible to judge the duel of this level.

When I started judging, it seemed to me that to work out such a top match, to hold it well, and not so that then all the bones washed away, it was the peak for me. After I spent several matches, I still think that this is a top match, but I have much to grow.

Judging matches Dynamo against Shakhtar - it's like a drug, I want more and more, "Zhabchenko told in an interview to the television channel Football 1.

Also, the arbitrator commented on the rumors that he received Russian citizenship and constantly illegally crosses the border of Ukraine through closed checkpoints, living in the annexed Crimea.

"From an early age, I felt that this country gave me everything. You can not just cross out 26 years of life and be somewhere incomprehensible by someone, a new person. Not for me it's.

I try to just go to my goal and adequately represent Ukraine at the international level, "added Zhabchenko.
