- The head of the FTC, Vladimir Katkov, said that the rules and code would be amended, but did not specify which ones.
- The thing is this: before, the illegal actions of the fans were fights, breaking stadiums and much more. And now, lawyers are calling to consider obscene language as a violation of public order. Then in our country 90 percent of the people need to be arrested, imprisoned and fined. I do not think that this issue will be resolved unambiguously. We still have not paid money for this.
- They talk a lot about judicial errors in favor of CSKA rivals. Today at the meeting of the RFPL presidents was the head of the CFA Sergey Zuev. Did you talk to him?
- I do not want to discuss judicial errors.
“But you talked to him?”
- I expressed everything I wanted. I have no opinion that CSKA was judged biased. But there is a question: why, out of the whole mass of mistakes made, four - and soon the fifth will be considered - to the detriment of CSKA? That’s all, nothing more. Of course, a person wonders when they are mistaken three or four times not in his favor. But I'm not looking for any background here.
We just want no mistakes
“What are you looking for?”
- Just feel sorry for the lost points. We, perhaps, would not have scored this penalty. Maybe they would not have scored a goal that was canceled. Anything can happen. We just want to make no mistakes.
- Sergey Zuev promised to hold a gathering to correct the situation. Will this help?
- This is Zuev’s problem. I have only one wish: we want a qualified refereeing. Everything. What Zuev will do for this - fees, conversations with judges, sleep training using hypnosis - is not important to me. It's none of my business.
- How not yours?
- I do not know what they do in such cases in the German association, in English, in Italian. But there the referees judge what they see. The main thing that was discussed at the meeting was the same interpretation of similar situations. After all, football players are also hard to reconstruct. One judge works in an English manner, gives play. The other is in Italian. And they should be judged the same way. And it turns out, Zakharov judged the match with Spartak normally, there can be no complaints against him either from our side or from the Spartak side. And in the next match, the player touches the opponent with his shoulder and immediately receives a yellow card.
“But there is no bias?”
- Not. This is not bias, but the qualifications of the arbitrators. There is a huge difference between these concepts.
- There is an opinion that there is a conspiracy against CSKA.
- Let everyone think so, but I don’t know about it. Whoever believes, let him continue to think.
- But you began to complain more often about refereeing.
- No, not more often. It just happened this year. We will think that this is a coincidence. We do not blame anyone for bias.
