Russian Premier League (RPL) President Alexander Alaev mentioned that a new task has been introduced into the arsenal of referees who manage matches in the Russian championship. His words are quoted “Sports Express”.
“I have said many times that referees are part of the game. The clearer they are, the better. I said it and I continue to say it. I don’t see how this will work yet, but it is a step forward. There was a critical moment in the Real Madrid – Valencia match, the VAR interviews were broadcast and I watched it too. At least we will know what our jury members sound like,” Alaev said.
From now on, the referees will announce their decisions to the entire stadium following the intervention of VAR with the RPL decision.
After 19 weeks in the Russian Premier League (RPL), Krasnodar continues to lead the RPL rankings with 39 points. Zenit, which is in second place, has 2 points less. Dinamo is in the top three with 35 points.
After the 20th round, the teams will take a break for the national team matches. The start of the 21st round of RPL is scheduled for March 25. During the break, the Russian team will play against Serbia and Paraguay.
