Captain Shakhtar speaks about the situation in Crooked Rose.

Shakhtar's football player Taras Stepanenko commented on the match against Kryvbas in the 5th round of the UPL through the trival and anxiety.

“I can say that I’m already happy with the completion of the matches and the fact that I’ve been sitting in the room three or four times, since we’ve been playing in Dnipro for six years. Now there is evidence that the match will be postponed. It’s very difficult, but we understand that the situation in the country is important to us, the front-line places are always under threat. And if you praise the decision, then for safety it’s better not to overheat. Well, if you’re emotional, you want to finish the match, especially since we have a difficult schedule, and it’s important to get to Krivoy Rog, and there will always be worries here. Ale є yak є. To be honest, we were a little disappointed because we wanted to finish the match. They said that until 23:00 during the curfew you can still take three rubles, but we don’t know. As I understand it, there is still anxiety, so.

After what happened in Crooked Rose, I was worried, my homeland was worried, I know that the players’ squads were also worried. Foreigners - here it became clear:

they arrived to the other end of the river and settled down. They made up their minds for us: we spent the night in another place, went to the city by bus for two years - and started this match, played, but didn’t finish. It’s hard, it’s not at all acceptable, and it seems to me that the people who organize our tournaments, who organize the matches are more responsible for losing respect. Because, honestly, it’s not funny. “I respect everything that’s right,” said Stepanenko.
