Rostov captain Danil Glebov said that the chief referee of the match against CSKA, Rafael Shafeev, did not decide to postpone the match. His words are quoted “Bookmaker rating”.
“Probably for fun, to entertain people. I asked the judge; You let yourself play in this weather, and then you whistle every time you shovel, why? It is incomprehensible to me that they write that the judge decided. From where? Because when I ask him, he says, “I didn’t make the decision.” Someone said it was unclear. He said that it was not me who made the decision, someone said that,” Glebov said.
