Leonid Vasfeld: ‘I expect an apology from Razin, but it won’t affect my reporting on Severstal games’

Well-known hockey official and expert Leonid Weisfeld said that the recent misunderstanding between him and the head coach “Severstal » Andrei Razin will not affect his work as a commentator during the Cherepovets game.

Severstal will face Dynamo Moscow on Tuesday in the Fonbet home game of the KHL Championship. Leonid Weisfeld will commentate this match live. The meeting starts at 7:00 p.m.

– As usual, I received a newsletter from the channel – what specific matches I’m working on, – explained Weisfeld. — Everything is in normal mode, and personally I don’t see any problem here.

– Nevertheless, you recently had a conflict with Razin, who entered the public space. Are you going to somehow, at least jokingly, broach this subject?

– Why? I will work, as always, to analyze the hockey moments that take place on the ice, and that’s it. What is this story about? Do you know what happened there?

– I only know that Razin called you at night and for some reason began to voice arbitration-related claims.

– Yes, okay, at night. It turned out that several channels were created in Telegram, where my name appears. I have nothing to do with them at all, I didn’t even know they existed…

— Yes, now it happens, alas, often. A famous person’s name is taken and a chain is created, supposedly linked to him. And then you can write there in general, whatever you want. Didn’t Razin understand that?

– Apparently not. Razin read something there, decided I had written it and called at night, started making obscene statements. I then publicly stated that I do not run any channels on Telegram, and I expect an apology from Razin. But so far he has not waited for them, although Andrei, as far as I know, has closed his own channel. Razin has such a feature – he considers everyone around him to be enemies. But what does the game “Severstal” have to do with it? I’m not going to mix it all up.

– You’re not going. But it’s easy to assume that Cherepovets fans will view your every critical remark about Severstal through the prism of this story.

I haven’t paid much attention to it for a long time. Arrested after an incident. I remember once I arrived at the FHR and someone said to me, “Leonid, enough about the judges! That you constantly analyze their work during matches. I think: maybe, really, I am doing too much with these analyses. Then I flew to the Vancouver Olympics, where I comment on the matches, I don’t touch the work of the referees. And then one of my colleagues approached me: “Leonid, why did you stop talking about judges? Previously, you analyzed all the controversial episodes, everything was clear. And now, without your explanation, nothing is clear at all. I understood then that you can’t please everyone.

Severstal is now eighth in the Western Conference standings and is battling for a spot in the playoff zone with Dynamo Minsk and Vityaz.
