Former Spartak coach Valery Gladilin asked to pay less attention to the work of the referees and focus on the quality of the team’s play and the performance of the players.
On Wednesday, a team of referees led by Evgeny Kukulyak officiated the match of the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Path of the Regions of the Russian Cup between Zenit St.Dynamo “(1:1, 4:5 on penalties). In the second half in the penalty areaZenith Claudinho kicked Konstantin Tyukavin in the leg. Kukulyak watched the episode after the VAR prompt, but did not register a rule violation.
After the ESC RFU meeting on Thursday, Pavel Kamantsev, head of the RFU arbitration department, told that the committee’s decision on the episode was unanimous: a penalty should have been awarded without a card YELLOW. As a result, it was decided to suspend Kukulyak for some time – the referee will not be able to qualify for nominations for matches due to a low score, and after a break he will be able to return to work in the Premier League .
– The referees watch every moment a hundred times, everyone has their own opinion. There are video screenings, VARs, various executive committees. We focus a lot on refereeing issues, but we don’t focus on quality of play and performance skills. Football suffers! We take our football the other way around. The first people are the judges, the operators and all those who are related to the arbitration. It shouldn’t be like this,” Gladilin is quoted by Euro‑Futbol.Ru.
Earlier, former Dynamo players Sergey Karyaka and Dmitry Bulykin said that they would like to receive explanations from the match referees about the controversial episodes of the matches these referees are serving.
