“There is no red talk”: Sobolev admitted hitting an opponent with his elbow

MOSCOW, 25 Jul. Spartak striker Alexander Sobolev said that he did not understand the accusations of unsportsmanlike behavior against him after the match of the 2nd round of the RPL against Krasnodar (4: 1). In the first half of the meeting, referee Kirill Levnikov did not send off the football player red -white, who had a yellow card when he got into a skirmish with a player from the opposing team and the referee himself. In addition, Sobolev's elbow in the face of a Krasnodar footballer did not lead to sanctions.

"They will always talk. I didn’t understand why they began to discuss that I showed something to someone — they saw some kind of unsportsmanlike behavior, you can’t communicate with the players. In the moment with Cordoba, I showed something. But there was nothing unsportsmanlike there. Everyone communicates, everyone swears on the field. This is fine. Elbow episode? I did not see him. Yes, I got it. But VAR has no right to intervene for a yellow card, and there can be no talk of a red card. I just didn't see him. An ambiguous moment & # 34;, — quotes Sobolev & # 34; Sport-Express & # 34;.
