Former Russian national team player Andrei Arshavin expressed skepticism about the involvement of foreign referees for Russian football matches.
– Spartak asked the RFU to invite a foreign referee.
— I can be accused of bias. But when the invitation of foreign referees was practiced in the 2000s, I was in favor, but now I do not see that any of the teams do not enjoy the favor of the judges. I sincerely mean it. Now our Russian referees have to judge. Moreover, given the VAR, the probability of error is minimal. It seems to me that our opponents are too emotional and are looking for a problem where there is none.
The invitation of a foreign referee means distrust of our referees from the clubs. But if you want, you can invite Artem Kuchin from Kazakhstan. He is a FIFA referee. A qualified judge, in my opinion. But this is only in an extraordinary order, – Sport24.ru quotes Arshavin.
