On the eve of Zarya with a score of 2: 3 ceded to RB Leipzig, unable to break into the group stage of the League of Europe.

After the match, general Luganchan Sergei Rafailov complained about the poor refereeing, the difference in teams in the class, and also thanked the football players of Zarya.

"I approach everything from the position of practice, but this does not mean that I have no emotions. About the past two games with Braga and two games with Leipzig I will say that they were all interesting in their own way. But have you seen arbitration? Yes, I do not argue about our violations. And the penalty is fair, and the cards. But why there was not the same reaction to similar violations of the players of the opposing teams? Why did not the French in Zaporozhye also rigorously judge our game? Yes, the removal of Lednev was fair, and I do not discuss it. But in fact at first to it have come on a hand, and the arbitrator should show a yellow card to the football player. These are trifles, but from small things, as you know, everything develops and ".

"Some coaches and functionaries say they do not discuss the actions of the judges. I discussed, discuss and discuss the actions of the arbitrators. They are the same participants in the process as I, any coach and players. We all have the right to criticism and we have the right to criticize ".

"Today's game, I did not look to the end. I walked the last ten minutes along the corridor. So strong was the tension ".

"The budgets of our rivals are many times higher than ours. They say money does not play football. Yes, do not play if they are poured out of the dump truck in the center of the field. And if they are competently invested and invited high-quality coach and players, then we can say that the money is playing ".

"I have no complaints against our guys. They fought to the last. We tried. Yes, we are a little lower. This is our reality ".

"There is a championship of Ukraine. There is next year. Life does not end. Football does not end ".

"The penalty was. I saw the video replay immediately, as it happened. Penalty was. But I stress once again that the referee did not have the same reaction to some similar violations by opponents. There are double standards and we all need to understand this ".

"He also told me about it when I got on the bus. I suggested simply to sleep off and talk on a fresh head. I spoke with the president and said that such a statement was made at a press conference. I understand that we left the exit to the group stage. But let's be honest:

the rival for financial, structural, human resources is clearly stronger than us. Even if you take, albeit conventionally: the proposal of Real for Timo Werner is 100 million euros, at a time when, if you take the data of the site transfermark, the whole Zarya costs 14-t. Let this be the conditional figures. It was not easy for us, but I hope that all our victories are yet to come, "Rafailov quotes the official website of Zarya.
