Well-known journalist Dmitry Guberniev explained the difference between the disqualifications of Spartak Moscow head coach Guillermo Abascal and Rostov coach Valery Karpin. His words guide the way “Sports Express”.
“It seems to me that coaches are still given the chance to ‘correct, compensate’, reminiscent of the immortal expression of Andrei Mironov in Mark Zakharov’s film. Evil tongues, of course, can now see a conspiracy against Spartak, because Abaskal received a major disqualification, but it seems to me that this is a normal punishment and he just needs to control himself, that’s all,” Guberniev said.
In the middle of the first half of the match against Akhmat Grozny in the 17th round of the Russian Premier League (RPL) (1:2), Abascal, the Spanish coach of the Red and Whites, received a red card for pushing the player. Celebrating his team’s goal, Grozny club Bernard Berisha jumped into the Spartak technical area with both feet. The fielder was warned and received no further penalty. Abascal later apologized for his behavior.
On 7 December, the Control and Disciplinary Committee of the Russian Football Union (RFU KDK) disqualified Abascal for two matches and one postponed match.
After the match against CSKA (0:2) in the 17th round of the national championship, Karpin harshly criticized the decision to hold the match in heavy snow. Weather conditions during the match were such that snow was cleared from the pitch during the match. Karpin was disqualified for two matches, one of which was a suspension.
