An hour before the match with the Nalchik Spartak, there were a lot of police and soldiers at Dynamo Stadium. There was even an idea that the law enforcement bodies had mixed up, did not figure out what Spartak was coming for. If Moscow, then everything would be clear. And riot policemen at the exit from the subway would fit into the landscape.
There were four thousand spectators in the stands. True, this is the data from the scoreboard, and there they often give out the wish for the reality. Probably, in reality, there were a thousand fewer fans in the stands. But what surprised me most was the almost complete sector of fans from Kabardino-Balkaria. They behaved quite actively, one even jumped into free space and began to dance lezginka. The police persistently escorted him back.
In the afternoon, Lennart Johansson, president of UEFA, talked about how one of the most serious problems of modern football is racism in the stands.
“I was recently at a Serbian championship match,” he told reporters. - And there, some of the fans dressed in costumes of the Ku Klus Klan. The fact is that one of the teams was played by a black football player. It is unacceptable.
Vitaly Mutko nodded at these words. So, now from the head of the RFU one can expect a reaction to the chanting of blue and white fans calling: “Moscow without chocks”. If you let such things go, then why even call the UEFA leader to Russia?
In addition, an insulting slogan for the players was posted in the host fan sector: “The real Dynamo is us. And who are you?". True, this did not reach the players. At least not one of the players interviewed could say anything about this.
And now they will speak less and less in Dynamo. The club’s press officer Ilya Kuzenkin immediately stated that a ban on communication with the press had been introduced at the club since Thursday. It seems that it prevents the team from playing and achieving positive results.
“Enough, we talked at the beginning of the year,” he reasoned. - Everyone was talking and talking, but there is no result.
No persuasion to allow reporters to the team before the cult derby with the capital “Spartak” did not work.
“The ban does not apply only to the trainer's press conference,” the club promised. - And that’s because it threatens with a fine. Football players are not forbidden to speak in mixed zones after matches, but this depends on their mood. Anyway, look, Rubin has not been talking for a year.
Found who to take an example ...
But Maxim Romashchenko either did not hear about the ban, or decided to ignore it. He was one of those who spoke with everyone who was interested in reporters.
“Very pleased with the victory,” he admitted. - Yes, the quality of the game was poor, but the result is more important for us. By the next round, Danny and Derley will enter the line. They missed football very much, made the right conclusions from their behavior and will benefit us.
It remains to add that the game was attended by Yuri Semin. The former club coach also took a vow of silence, not wanting to talk about the resignation of Slavolyub Muslin, nor about the victory of Dynamo. Maybe the blue and white didn't fire him?
