Former FIFA referee Alexei Nikolaev on air MATCH PRIME called the decision of Russian referees to show few yellow cards during WORLD RPL matches a positive trend.
In the central matches of the 15th round, Zenit – Krasnodar (1:1) and Spartak – Rostov (2:1), the referees showed only one yellow card.
– In any case, it’s good for football, because everyone wants there to be less whistles and more football. Therefore, I think everyone has a positive attitude towards this trend. And it’s no surprise that in the two tour matches only one yellow card was handed out. The referees of these matches allowed us to play. According to the rules, in these games one could see 1-2 cards, but according to the facts, in football, no one complains against the referees.
The referee comes out and sets the bar for martial arts, and if the players themselves accept and appreciate it, then everyone perceives it as normal. But if you feel that something is already crossing this line, then cards appear,” Nikolaev said on MATCH PRIME’s “Rules of the Game” show.
Live broadcasts of MIR RPL matches can be watched on the and MATCH PREMIER TV channels, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
