“The League Cup is an interesting tournament, but there are questions. It is not known what all this will look like “- the president of” Orenburg “

Football club president “Orenburg” Vasily Eremyakin told that holding the League Cup now requires solving a number of issues.

The Russian Football Union (RFU) said in May that the League Cup “could fill vacant European Cup playing slots with high-intensity matches and provide an opportunity for additional commercial revenue for clubs in the Russian Premier League (RPL).

– The tournament is interesting, but there are questions and various issues that need to be clarified. The representative of Khimki, for example, [на собрании] noted that there is a difficult recruitment of the team due to the difficult transfer situation. And you will need to have a team for three tournaments – the Championship, the Russian Cup and the RPL Cup. It’s not an easy thing, you need a long bench.

“Torch” gave reasonable arguments – from the organization of refereeing to logistics. Because we will have to play “tees”. Difficulties arise in getting around. The financial situation is not entirely clear. Yes, there is a certain calculation based on some proposals, but at the moment it is not clear how realistic all this will seem.

If I understand correctly, there are certain agreements with advertising structures, but it is difficult to judge the realism of everything. Because history is expensive – with travel, moving, etc. Whether the clubs make money on it, will go to nil or lose – to understand, you need to have specific numbers at hand.

I repeat, the tournament is interesting, but there are problems. Knowing about these problems is not a solution, we must understand how to overcome them. So no vote [на собрании РПЛ] did not have. In addition, you need to finalize all the questions that have arisen, get a clear answer, and then make a decision. It is also important to understand the position of the RFU. To date, he is unknown, – said Eremyakin “”.

– The season is about to start. Were there deadlines to solve all these problems?

– I am not a member of the commission, we have just joined [в собрания РПЛ]. Therefore, I was not deeply immersed in this topic. We were given the commission work, I took it home, I’m going to study it, see what it looks like on paper. No deadline or date was discussed or set.
