Former head coach of the Russian women’s volleyball team Yuri Marichev spoke about the decision of the executive committee of the All-Russian Volleyball Federation (VVF) to disqualify for 2 years Andrei Voronkov towards Kaliningrad “Locomotive” .
On May 30, the VFV executive committee approved Voronkov’s two-year disqualification for racially insulting a black volleyball player during a match.
– I think that if Voronkov had behaved differently, the federation would have issued a different, less severe verdict. I agree that any emotion expert is capable of swearing, but at the same time, you should always feel responsible for your words and actions. It’s hard to speculate why Andrei behaved this way and what line of defense he chose. You must be able to admit your mistakes. Once you’ve done it, declare it. Unfortunately, he didn’t, and I don’t understand that reaction. I would have acted differently.
I don’t really feel like commenting on this and cheering on a colleague. I can only say that if I were Voronkov, I would apologize. It might behave differently. It is clear that we coaches are living people and it all happens in our work. Sometimes you come off, a harsh word flies away. But, I repeat, everyone has the opportunity to apologize. I don’t see anything shameful in that, quotes RT Marichev.
On May 12, Voronkov, during a timeout in the fifth game of the final series of the Russian championship with Uralochka-NTMK, giving instructions to his players, dismissed Valery Zaitseva and said: “Why are you still catching this monkey?” The phrase hit the tune “”. For the team from the Sverdlovsk region, the Cuban player Ailama Sese Montalvo played, who later left the club.
