Former CSKA head coach Valery Gazzaev said that the match between the red-blue team and Rostov in the 17th round of the Russian Premier League (RPL) had to be postponed due to snowfall. “Sports Express”.
“Who needs this kind of football?! This isn’t much of a show. I’m sorry for the fans. I will say more – this is disrespectful to the audience. We need to think about the health of the players. The risk of serious injury on such a field increases significantly,” Gazzaev said.
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 called it embarrassing It was decided that the match would be played against CSKA during the snowfall.
