Football commentator Gennady Orlov spoke about the obscene gesture of Moscow Spartak striker Alexander Sobolev against CSKA in the 28th round match of the Russian championship.
Let us remind you that the match ended 2-1 in favor of the red-whites. Quincy Promes scored double for the winners. Jesus Medina scored the only goal within the scope of CSKA.
“I’ve been in football my whole life: I’ve played all kinds of reviews, commented and still do. But I have not seen a football player pretending to be Sobolev. Some kind of cow, you know?
Now it has become fashionable: he is wrong – and immediately apologizes to everyone. Listen, boor doesn’t stop being rude after apologizing, which is seen as rude behavior by everyone. This does not mean that everything is forgiven. You have to live with this “respect”.
In principle, according to our regulations, he should be given a maximum of two matches. [дисквалификации], but in fact he should receive a large penalty for this act. I don’t know, five games, maybe ten. Because well, that’s impossible,” Orlov said on the air of the “Football Like This” program.
In one of the game segments of the second half, CSKA defender Willian Rocha fell on the grass inside the penalty area after a fight with Alexander Sobolev.
The striker grabbed his groin as a gesture to the Brazilian. A few minutes later, Rocha repeated this gesture himself, trying to explain to the referees what Sobolev had shown him. As a result, both players were sent off the field.
In the RPL ranking, Spartak is third (53 points), CSKA is second (54).
Former commentator Konstantin Genich judicial The behavior of Alexander Sobolev is immoral.
