MOSCOW, June 23 President of the CSKA Football Club, Vice President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Yevgeny Giner reacted sharply to a journalist's question about the possibility of returning the Russian football championship to the spring-autumn system.
"I'll tell you, it's " step. "Required" necessary. We must go against everyone, — Giner sarcastically answered reporters. How long have you been in journalism? Do you remember who initiated the transition to the "autumn-spring" (one of the initiators of the transition was Evgeny Giner — ed.)? Should I answer differently now? Do you think I'm a fool or a moron? The elders taught me: "Son, they don’t change their gait with age".
The last season of the Russian Football Championship in the spring-autumn format was held in 2010. From March 12, 2011 to May 13, 2012, the transitional championship was held according to the «spring-autumn-spring» system, after which, from the 2012/13 season, the tournament began to be held in the «autumn-spring» format.
