Coach of the Russian team Nikolai Pisarev on air “” called Sergei Karasev main referee.
Karasev officiated in the match of the 28th WORLD round RPL “Spartak” – CSKA, which took place on May 21 and ended with the victory of the local team with the score 2: 1. The striker ” red-white” Alexander Sobolev, after one of the martial arts in the second half, showed an obscene gesture to the army man Roche, pointing to his groin. After that, the Brazilian appealed to the referee and repeated the obscene gesture, referring to the linesman. Both players were sent off the field.
– Non-standard case, but I would like to say “Bravo, Karasev”. Therefore, he is our best arbiter, as he explains everything. I understood what he was thinking at that moment [с Рошей и Соболевым]. I looked at this episode a little differently. Now Karasev has explained a lot and toned down the negativity we’ve all experienced. Therefore, he is our best referee”, said Pisarev on the air of the program “Tous pour le match!” on the TV Match channel.
After the derby with CSKA, Sobolev was suspended for four games, later the appeal committee reduced the suspension to three games. Additionally, the FTC RFU decided to rescind Roshi’s red card.
