Judges explain live video replays of Winline tournament RPL Winter Cup will take root in official matches, Russian national team coach tells Nikolai Pisarev .
In the first round matches of the Winline Winter Cup RPL tournament, Spartak beat Rostov on penalties (0:0, 2:1), and Krasnodar beat Sochi with the score 1:0. The referees, watching video replays, comment on their decisions live.
– A good start to the tournament. The first game was more tactical, Spartak and Rostov were closer to the official match, especially the first half – everything was behind the ball line, density, a small number of chances. And Krasnodar and Sochi played open and reckless football. Of course, no one is 100% ready, hence the big turnover in the second half.
I liked the innovation when the judges come on screen and explain their decision. It attracts the fans, I’m sure this rule will take root (in the RPL), Pisarev told correspondents in Abu Dhabi.
– And what if the judge makes a wrong decision, but at the same time confidently comments on it that he is right?
– Okay, but we already understand during the match why he does that. We didn’t know that before (smiles). Maybe the judges will be more responsible in their decision-making. They are people, their pulse is less than 160, they are energized.
