Head Coach Khimki Sergei Yuran expressed the opinion that the incident between the team’s goalkeeper Ilya Lantratov and the boy serving balls in the play-off with SKA-Khabarovsk was no accident.
In the match, which took place on May 25 in Khabarovsk and ended in a 1-0 victory for the hosts, Lantratov in one of the episodes asked the ball boy to give him the ball, and when that did not happen, he ran up to him and pushed with his shoulder, as a result of which the young man fell. Later, the goalkeeper was fined 50,000 rubles for this.

– I was afraid of losing Lantratov, I had to wait for the decision of the FTC (Commission for Control and Discipline of the RFU). I was watching the episode again, it’s obvious that (It was) planned because I know the person who became the press officer”SKA-Khabarovsk “, was will number one. It was obvious that the teenager deliberately did not give the ball away. When Ilya jumps (over the fence), this happens and the camera immediately turns on. A person with a phone, it was clearly visible on the TV show. He does not paint (them). It is clear that when your team wins, you must introduce the ball slowly. He (ball-boy) stands with the ball and waits .
Everything went quickly, the guys were pissed off. On the plane, I asked for more details about the situation. I was shown the incident, there was nothing supernatural about it. I say, “Ilya, it’s fine no matter what.” He replied: “I apologized, I gave a T-shirt.” I know Ilya well, he is a balanced person, – said Yuran on .
In return match “Khimki” won – 3:0 and by the sum of two meetings they retained their place in the RPL.
