“It was football that was difficult to play. This is not football. Playing in the garden would only be cool and fun in this weather in my childhood. But they tell us, so we play,” said Terentyev.
The match may not have taken place at the scheduled time. The decision to postpone the match was made by the main referee of the match, Rafael Shafeev, just before the start of the match. The match started at the scheduled time. In Moscow, the stadium field could not be cleared of snow, and during the match, field workers cleared the penalty area with shovels.
Rostov head coach Valery Karpin was unhappy that no decision was made to postpone the match. “But what kind of idiot decided to play, what kind of idiot?” – he said emotionally after the match. The coach faces disqualification.
Previously Karpin answered the question About the possible transition of RPL to the “spring-autumn” system.
