Russian volleyball player Alexei Spiridonov commented on rumors that the Expert Referee Commission (ESC) plans to support referee Pavel Kukuyan during two controversial episodes of the last match between Zenit and Spartak.
“Nothing will change. It has long been clear to everyone that this is not the RPL championship, but the Gazprom championship. Everything is the same. It must be tackled. Zenit needs to be shut down and the championship will return to normal. They have a large margin of safety, the next five years Zenit’s hegemony will not be broken. , the team will not be an opponent, ”refers Spiridonov “Sports Express”.
Last weekend, Spartak lost to Zenit with a score of 2:3. Claudinho, Andrey Mostovoy and Ivan Sergeev scored against the winners. As part of the Muscovites, Keita Balde and Quincy Promes distinguished themselves (from the penalty spot). It is worth noting that Spartak returned twice during the match and conceded the decisive goal already in the downtime. 15 minutes before the end of the match, the red-white defender Alexis Duarte was sent off.
After 26 weeks in the RPL, the red-whites are in fourth place, two points behind the second-placed CSKA. The teams will face each other on May 21.
