Arda Turan, FC Shakhtar September 14 2025, 00:44
“First of all, I want to congratulate the Metalist 1925 on the rightly obtained score and a draw that they won today. I also express their sympathy about Ramik Gadziyev’s injury. This is a young talented player, and I sincerely hope that he will be able to return to the field as soon as possible and overcome this difficult stage.
As for our performance in today’s game, I am most dissatisfied with it, if it is right. Perhaps a return after an international pause is given: our players were in national teams, maybe somewhat has been affected by fatigue. In any case, this is not an excuse. As a result, I am dissatisfied with the game directly.
Today I can’t say that happy. And as the head coach I fully take responsibility for myself, I do not avoid it. Therefore, again I would like to emphasize that I am dissatisfied today, this is not the level at which we want to be. And, of course, starting from today’s game, we will have a lot to improve.
Well, in such situations, our people are experiencing now as a whole, it is very valuable that fans are able to come to the match and support their favorite team. I am very grateful to them that they were able to find the time and opportunity to come here and be near us. I am sorry that today we were unable to entertain them with a good game and a positive result, so I would like to apologize for it. I am really sorry that today we couldn’t please them.
Referee decisions? First of all, I would like to congratulate the arbitrators for the successfully integrated rule of eight seconds concerning the goalkeeper and the time he can have to keep the ball in his hands. And returning a little back to our match of the second round with the Carpathians: then Ritszoli interpreted foul on hemp as a lack of violation, and it is very easy to express himself in the same way here within the framework of the powers that he has. I just wonder if he could speak in the same way if it concerned the matches of Milan, Juventus or Inter? Therefore, I believe that today’s decisions, especially with the goal, is a shame. But in any case, we move on, “-the club’s press service suggests.
