Maxim Zaderaka: I was surprised if they looked at VAR. I still don’t realize that this moment is my part

Midfielder of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas, team captain Maksym Zaderaka - about the away match of the 26th round of the UPL against SC Poltava - 3:3.

On the canceled goal of Villivald against Poltava

- I didn't even feel that I had made any contact with the player before the goal, and that's why it was a little strange for me when they reviewed the VAR. I didn't understand that they were reviewing the moment with my participation. But, to be honest, I don't really want to discuss the referee's decisions.

On the game with Poltava

- The game was extremely emotional. This is the second round in a row that is extremely emotional: what with Dynamo, what with Poltava. And we see that there are some systematic mistakes not in our favor. Such controversial moments are always decided not in our favor.

On controversial refereeing decisions

- I would like more transparency. The episode with Dynamo Kyiv, when they scored the last goal for us, I would just like, for example, to show the line that there was an offside. With Poltava - more systematicity. In the first half, when we scored the third goal, I think there was also a foul on Dibango. Therefore, if there had been a certain sequence: if they had canceled a goal there and a goal here, in the last minutes, then there would have been no questions. And so in this match there were a lot of such controversial moments, you saw that the degree of emotions went off scale.

About the team's play in defense and attack

- You seem to be winning, everything is under control, then eight minutes pass - you are already losing. And we understand - these are our problems, we are working on it. But I want to say one thing, that the team is playing. And the fact that we are scoring is very good, but it is also necessary to defend as a whole team. We need to work more as a team. Somewhere we do not have balance in this regard yet. There are reasons for this, you understand that we are a very young team, the average age is 22 years old. Therefore, there are and will be mistakes.

But, you know, I will say this: this is our style of play. You know, as De Bruyne once said, what's great about England is when Man City comes to every team, and every opponent has their own style of play. I think if we put on some other uniform, everyone would understand that this is the Kryvbas style. So we understand our problems, we're working on it. But I think it's much better for the fans to watch such interesting and emotional matches and get pleasure from it.
