NHL Tampa Bay Guard Mikhail Sergachev told that he would not condemn Spartak Moscow football player Alexander Sobolev for his act in the game against CSKA, because the player simply succumbed to emotions.
“Spartak” on Sunday at home in the match of the 28th round of WORLD RPL beat CSKA with the score 2:1. Sergachev, along with Tampa goaltender Andrei Vasilevsky and Columbus forward Kirill Marchenko, symbolically kicked the ball before the starting whistle. In the second half, the striker of the “red-whites” Sobolev showed an obscene gesture to the Brazilian player of CSKA Willian Roche, pointing to his groin. After that, Rocha appealed to the referee and repeated the obscene gesture to the linesman. Both players were sent off the field.
– I don’t understand the referee moments, something was completely new for me, but I really liked the game: the fight, the excitement, the fans. We sat right in the center and saw everything perfectly – a buzz.
– What would happen to the hockey player of the NHL club if he showed the same gesture as Sobolev?
You know, it’s the emotions. It was hard for people on the podium to understand what was going through Sobolev’s head at that moment, so I won’t judge him for what he did. I don’t know what would have happened in the NHL. It seems to me that it is not so important here, it is better to compare with another football league. It’s just that the NHL is completely different,” Sergachev told .
