Rubin, former head coach of CSKA and the Russian national team Leonid Slutsky is on the air YouTube channel “Comment.Show” He supported the dismissed referee Yevgeny Kukulyak in the Russian Premier League (RPL) matches.
“Now the young referee will judge, he will 100% screw up and be sacked and he who has shown himself perfectly many times but here he made a mistake, even a big mistake … that is wrong . Everyone can make mistakes, but we understand who has full authority for these mistakes, if he makes a mistake five times in a row, it is clear that there is no question mark, his whole past is burned.
“I think this is an absolutely false and illogical story,” he said.
Recall that Kukulyak has become the main anti-hero of Russian football in recent days. On March 15, he took part in the 1/4 match of the Russian Cup Regions’ Road between Zenit and Dynamo.
After watching VAR, Yevgeny Kukulyak decided not to give a penalty at the moment when Zenit midfielder Claudinho broke the rules on Konstantin Tyukavin in his own penalty area. He also did not remove Zelimkhan Bakaev from the game in the 73rd minute of the match because he did not agree with the referee’s decision.
Formerly Miodrag Bozovic admitted that the referees helped Zenit, and that Spartak also.
