MOSCOW, March 14 Zarema Salikhova, a former member of the board of directors of Spartak, spoke out on the work of referees at the match of the 21st round of the Russian Championship against Krasnodar (1:2).
"It is surprising that in response to the fact that due to "Spartak" everyone increases their profitability, the club is deliberately put in a corner, punishing refereeing of this level. Football players "Spartacus" — not boys that judges should learn from, and not heroes for low-quality TV programs. If "Spartacus" becomes really bored with you, then football will turn into a sad sight. And one "Spartacus" all Russian football will not be full for a long time, — quotes her comment "Sport-Express".
Salikhova criticized the decisions of the referees in the episodes with Spartak players Maximiliano Kofrie, Christopher Martins Pereira and Shamar Nicholson . In the case of Kofrie, the ball hit the player's shoulder not far from the penalty area line, after which a free kick was awarded, which the Krasnodar club converted. Martins Pereira participated in a duel that led to a penalty against the Red-Whites, and in the episode with Nicholson's goal canceled, his handball was preceded by the ball hitting the hand of a Krasnodar footballer.
