Athletistic/Football. Former CSKA football player Andrey Solomatin has expressed his support for the introduction of an additional penalty for Spartak forward Alexander Sobolev.
On Wednesday, Sobolev was suspended for 4 matches for an obscene gesture committed during the match of the 28th final of the RPL against CSKA (2-1). In December 2022, Sobolev had already been suspended for 6 matches in the Russian Cup for having participated in a fight with Zenit players. According to Solomatin, the Spartak striker should also be deprived of a fan card, which gives access to stadiums for all participants in RPL matches.
“I would also remove Sobolev’s Fan ID to deny him access to the football stadium. If it were the first case, that would be one thing, but it turns out that a fan can be removed from the Fan ID and not not be allowed to visit the stadium, but the players do not have such an opportunity. Let them behave culturally, “quotes Metaratings.ru Solomatin.
