“Why are inexplicable things happening in our football?” Karpin suspected the referees of bias

The Head Coach”Rostov » Valery Karpin alludes to the partiality of the MIR RPL referees.

On the 8-16 broadcast of MATCH PREMIER, Karpin expressed his outrage over refereeing during a conversation with former FIFA referee Sergei Lapochkin.

Karpin: I have a purely rhetorical question for Sergei. Tell me, if in the second half of a game there are two penalties, two VAR reviews (and VAR, of course, we don’t look in a minute) and in the second half there was 4-5 substitutions for each team. How many minutes do you think should be added?

Lapochkin: Probably seven minutes.

Karpin: ALL RIGHT. And if the judge adds two minutes, what is there to think?

Lapochkin: That means he has a plane soon, he has to run home. Of course, that’s not correct. Just a shame.

Karpin: And how to explain it?

Lapochkin: There are things that cannot be explained.

Karpin: So why do they happen in our football?

Lapochkin: It is a disaster. This immediately evokes bad things. I wish that didn’t happen in our football. Probably, it is necessary to address to the arbitration department.

Karpin: It’s just that the minimum time when a substitution is made, without looking at the VAR, is three minutes. But if there were two VAR views. It brings up other thoughts, which is completely normal. The person doesn’t want us to play more, so we, God forbid, equalize.
