'Respect my job,' Blokhin said. 'Let's go this one on one. You want to go with me? Let's have a man conversation. You should respect that I played football. Did you play football?

'Respect my job and me. I won't allow anyone to criticise my team, about (Oleh) Gusev or (Andriy) Shevchenko. If you're a man, go with me. One on one.'

Earlier Blokhin had expressed his disappointment at Marko Devic's disallowed goal, which appeared to cross the line before it was cleared by John Terry.

It would have brought the hosts level with 30 minutes remaining and given them a chance of salvaging their status in the competition.
