Former football player and Moscow Spartak coach Valery Gladilin said in an interview with socialbites.ca that the current calendar in the Russian Premier League (RPL) should be changed so that the pause between the autumn and spring parts of the season is shorter.
“Such long breaks are very harmful for everyone. For both players and fans. “There is a very long break between the two parts of the season, we need to think about how we can shorten it to make the championship look more holistic,” Gladilin said. said.
RPL switched to the “autumn-spring” system in the 2011/12 season. Before that, since 1992, the Russian Championship was held according to the “spring-autumn” scheme.
Krasnodar, which received 39 points according to the results of 19 rounds, continues to lead the RPL rankings. Zenit, which is in second place, has 2 points less. In the top three is Dinamo, who collected 35 points by beating Lokomotiv 2:1.
In the spring of 2022, the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) decided to suspend the participation of the Russian national team and all Russian clubs in all competitions controlled by these organizations.
Previously Valery Gladilin in the name CSKA will play until the final whistle.
