Rostov head coach Valery Karpin announced on MATCH PREMIER’s “8-16” program that he was not coaching the team’s striker Nikolai Komlichenko being substituted specifically for violations in the opponent’s penalty area in order for the referees to designate a penalty.
On Saturday, Rostov played with Spartak (1-1) in the WORLD RPL Round 25 game.
– Do you have to play especially against Sobolev?
– In a special way – no, he fights well, plays with his foot and his head, we show it. Was there anything specially prepared? No.
– Komlichenko wins a penalty better than Sobolev?
“You have to ask the judges, not me. Even judges who work with VAR. The judges who are on the ground did not impose so many sanctions on Komlichenko. Many 11 yards were awarded after using VAR. This surprises me and does not surprise me. He says he himself doesn’t understand, I don’t understand, but nobody understands. The judges call them “television”, VAR. We live in a time when such sanctions are imposed.
“He says he is shrewdly able to play ahead of the curve.
– And thank God. Do you think we train? Of course, I will say “bravo” to him. Am I going to scold him? If you think I’m telling him how to substitute, then no,” Karpin said on MATCH PREMIER.
