The incident with the operator during the Fonbet KHL Championship game between “Cupid” And “Motorist” – it’s also part of the show, which has attracted the attention of the press and fans, the hockey expert told RB Sport Nikita Shields .
The game took place in Khabarovsk on Tuesday and ended 3-2 in favor of the hosts. Attacker Yekaterinburg Stephan DaCosta at the end of the game, during a timeout, he punched the cameraman who went onto the ice with a camera and swore obscenely during the live broadcast. Subsequently, the French hockey player apologized to the operator.
– Avtomobilist was losing, the team had a 30 second break, everyone was on edge. The operator could choose a better place to climb, and he climbed directly over his shoulder. Anything can happen in the game, people can’t deal with their emotions. Coincidentally, nothing serious happened.
– The operator must not interfere in the internal affairs of the team?
On the other hand, people are interested in seeing it. In boxing, in MMA everything is shown in close-up. These issues should be addressed in the regulations. It would be much better if the camera was robotic and located on top. Then the distance would be observed. And not for a person to climb into personal space. Even if in the end it turned out to be interesting: a big reaction from the press and fans. Many drew attention to this match thanks to this incident. It’s also part of the show. It’s good that Da Costa apologized. Anything can happen in the game. If he hit the operator with a stick on the head, it would be really scary. And here everyone is decent, dispersed in peace, and even laughed.
On Thursday, Avtomobilist will play another match in Khabarovsk, with the same TV crew working there. The start is at 12:00 Moscow time.
Watch live broadcasts of the Fonbet KHL Championship matches on the federal channel and the thematic channels of the holding company, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru And sportbox.ru.
