Former CSKA footballer Oleg Kornaukhov on he said that he did not see the head coach of Krasnoyarsk “Yenisei” in his remarks Andrei Tikhonov against arbitrator Vera Opeikina, harassment based on gender.
After the match of the 28th round of the MELBET First League against SKA Khabarovsk (0:3), Tikhonov expressed his dissatisfaction that a woman was appointed for this match. On Friday, the Control and Disciplinary Commission of the Russian Football Union (KDK RFU) disqualified the coach for five matches, two of which were suspended. Yenisei later appealed this decision.
— Is it fair to say this about judges and aren’t the sanctions too severe?
– In my opinion, this is too severe a punishment for Tikhonov. Penalty? It seems so. They tell Tikhonov that he insulted a woman because of her gender – I didn’t hear that. He spoke about the professional qualities of a judge. He didn’t say they lost because the judge was a woman. He says the judge can’t keep up.
– So the question [в том, что Тихонов сказал] “why experiment.”
— When was the last time Opeikina was tried? For a long time. And a referee is invited who has not had gaming experience for a long time. I have not seen any insults directed at Opeikina as a woman. If a woman is a referee, she must work as a professional, as a judge,” Kornaukhov said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match!” on the channel.
