In the match of the 11th round of the championship of Ukraine, Shakhtar and Zarya made a draw, and the event, which they talk about long after the match, is a foul against Igor Haratin.

"To begin with, I am very sorry that Tyson was injured. As a football player in the past, and the coach at the moment, I understand what injury means for a football player. At the same time, I understand the insult and indignation of the Shakhtar fans ".

"However, it should be understood that football is movement and dynamics. And when there is a struggle for the ball, it is sometimes difficult to predict how events will unfold in the next fraction of a second. ".

"In the episode with Tyson there was a fight for a neutral ball. Igor (Kharatin - note. ) did not break the attack of the miner and did not commit a foul last hope. Football is a contact and dynamic sport.. Sometimes, playing at high speeds, it is impossible to change the trajectory of movement when you go to tackle ".

"In each game you can find such hard moments. In any team. It is not difficult to find tougher violations, which are limited to loyal punishment by the arbitrators and less excitement from fans, media and experts.. No need to escalate the situation. This is football. At one time, Stepanenko, Rakitsky and other football players had gross violations.. So, everybody executed now? ".

"Clear and obvious: our player did not want to hurt his opponent. There is no doubt about it.. Immediately after the match, Igor publicly apologized to Tyson.. And I’m telling you with confidence: he is morally going through this whole situation, which speaks of his indifference ".

“What else I would like to point out, I don’t understand the hysteria around the football player of our club, which is being blown up on a well-known television channel, where the version about the alleged“ hunt ”on Tyson unraveled. Talking about premeditated injury is absurd.. These people "eat one bread". And tomorrow on the football field will meet again ".

“We all sincerely wish Tyson a speedy recovery, and the fans - a reasonable understanding of the situation”.
