Head Coach”Sochi » Vladimir Fedotov who previously worked atOrenburg ”, Said that he did not agree with the decision not to allow the Urals team to play in the RPL due to the capacity of the home arena.
Orenburg left the RPL in 2020 and played in the FNL for two seasons. Last year, the club obtained promotion on a sporting basis, but was deprived of such a right due to the insufficient capacity of the home stadium. The season ended “Orenburg” finished on the 3rd line of the FNL ranking. After defeating “Ufa” in a two-match confrontation, “Orenburg” issued an exit to the RPL.
– Orenburg returned to the Premier League. How do you find this crazy outcome of their confrontation with Oufa?
– First of all, I would like to congratulate the club on their return to the Premier League. God, as they say, rewarded them for last season, when the team completed the task, but ended up with a broken bottom due to an unfinished stadium. Now the arena is ready, but everything was decided in just 20 seconds. Can you imagine how much, if not for that goal, that set the team back? Of course, after all, there’s someone up there handling it all, and now Orenburg has managed to fix the problem and will delight his home fans in a beautifully rebuilt stadium.
– As someone who worked at Orenburg, do you think the RPL should pay attention to the stadium’s capacity, which made the club suffer last year?
“I think we need to be more flexible. For example, Partizan has a very old stadium. When we got there, we had to stay in two changing rooms, because in one place there wasn’t enough for everyone. So if Partizan had played with us, they wouldn’t even have licensed the FNL.
It seems to me that the main criterion must remain the quality of the team. It is clear that the problems of improving the infrastructure must be solved, but the size of the stadium at this stage does not play a primary role. Eibar calmly play La Liga in an arena of 7,000 spectators, and indeed there are plenty of such examples in Europe. In the first place should be football and the principle of sports,” Fedotov said in an interview with .
