The central defender of Shakhtar Donetsk Valeriy Bondar commented on the episode with Dynamo player Andriy Yarmolenko at the end of the match of the 11th round of the UPL.

\? I have a lot of respect for Andrei Nikolaevich - both as a person and as a player. What happens on the field, let it stay there. At that moment I played the ball, Andrei probably didn’t like something. After the game we shook hands. This is a legend of the Ukrainian national team and our entire football. I have great respect for him. This is football, emotions, this happens,” Bondar said on the YouTube channel “Igor Tsiganik”.

We would like to remind you that at the end of the match between Shakhtar and Dynamo, Bondar made a dangerous tackle against Yarmolenko, after which the 36-year-old Dynamo leader grabbed the Donetsk defender by the throat.
