Sharonov without Metallica, Musayev’s license, Grigorian’s night broadcast: what did they talk about after the second RPL round

New technologies - old problems

The Dynamo-Rubin match in the second round of the RPL was the first in the history of the Russian championship, during which the VAR system helped the referees. However, despite the new technologies, teams and fans are once again faced with familiar problems.

So, in the 36th minute of the meeting, the chief arbiter of the meeting, Vitaly Meshkov, showed the second yellow card to midfielder from Kazan, Yevgeny Bashkirov, and removed him from the field. It is noteworthy that Meshkov acted confidently, but on replay the player of the Rubin looks controversial. This was announced after the match by Khimki’s head coach Andrei Talalev and Dynamo’s former mentor Andrei Kobelev.

It is noteworthy that Vasily Kazartsev and Mikhail Vilkov played the role of video assistants for Meshkov, who by tour earlier mistakenly credited the goal of Rubin to Lokomotiv.

Immediately after the removal of Bashkirov, the official networks of the Kazan Club ridiculed the new system, comparing it with the old TV. However, later in the RPL it was recalled that VAR does not change the decision of the judges related to the issuance or non-acceptance of the first and second yellow cards, as well as the appointment or non-assignment of penalty, free and corner punches.

Musical tastes Sharonov

Despite the removal of Bashkirov, Rubin was able to demonstrate character and the will to win. Roman Sharonov's wards scored victory over Dynamo in the final seconds of the meeting.

The 42-year-old successor of Kurban Berdiyev himself praised the success of his team so highly that it compared the emotions of triumph with the sensations of the performance of the American rock band Metallica.

After the match, congratulating the players on the victory, the specialist admitted that he had dreamed of getting to the concert of his beloved band and even bought a ticket to Luzhniki in advance.

“Today is the 21st. In the "Luzhniki" plays the legendary group Metallica. I had a ticket to this concert, but I did not get. However, what I experienced was cooler. Thank you! ”- appealed to the team Sharonov.

Spoiled goodbye Gatskana

The most scandalous match of the tour took place in Rostov. The visit of the capital "Spartak" was marked not only by the unrest in the sub-premise room, but also gave rise to another wave of discourse about the judges being too loyal to the players of the red-and-whites.

Because of complaints to the RFU about the work of arbitrator Kirill Levnikov and the proceedings between the Rostov police, RPL and Spartak, a significant event for the Don club remained in the shadow - the captain of Rostovites Alexander Gatskan completed his speech for the club.

The Moldavian midfielder appeared on the field in the 84th minute of the meeting, and after the final whistle, he conducted a symbolic farewell ceremony with the fans. Midfielder made a circle of honor across the field, after which he was in the arms of Don fans. Having executed several chants, Gatskan left the Rostov Arena.

Midfielder played for the southerners since 2008. During this time, he spent 314 matches in the club and scored 24 goals. In the season 2013/14, Gatskan helped his team win the Russian Cup, and two years later became the silver winner of the Russian championship.

After parting with the fans and the team, the midfielder shared his feelings with reporters.

“Now only positive emotions. Thank you very much to the fans, leadership. I was always happy to play for this team, I gave her 11 years. But life goes on, we go forward and hope that I will continue in football. Of course, there is a sadness in the voice. As for the continuation of a career, there is nothing officially. Next week, something will probably happen, ”the club's website quotes Gatskana.

False alarm

Another match of the second round of RPL nearly ended with a scandal and subsequent punishments. Disputes and discrepancies in the regulations arose due to being on the curb of the main coach of Krasnodar, Murad Musayev.

Earlier, a 35-year-old specialist was removed by UEFA from managing the team on the bench. The coach does not have the appropriate category - Musayev has not yet received or even started training for the PRO category, which, according to the regulations of the European Association, does not allow him to occupy the position of head coach.

By the second round of the new season, this fact was noticed in the RFU. As a result of the match with Ufa, the head of the club licensing commission, Alexander Zorkov, said that the football union intends to apply sanctions against the coach.

“The UEFA decision has already said everything. Musayev can not lead a team. Everywhere the same conditions. The rules are the same for everyone, ”the Sport Express official quotes.

However, a bit later in the RFU, the decision and tonality changed.

“Musaev has a category A and is legally an assistant to the head coach. As an assistant is on the bench he can. There are no violations ", - explained in the football department.

Universal Grigoryan

Another coach, who paid close attention of journalists and fans, was the outrageous Tambov mentor Alexander Grigoryan.

The specialist, who arrived with his team in the capital to fight with Lokomotiv, used the stay in Moscow with benefit. On the eve of the meeting in Cherkizovo, the coach arrived at Match TV studio and acted as a guest expert live on the upcoming second game day of the tour.

It is noteworthy that the program with the participation of Grigorian ended well after midnight, and the decision of the current coach to leave the team at such a late hour caused controversial discussions among his colleagues.

For example, the president of “Alania” and the ex-goalkeeper of the Russian national team Vladimir Gabulov condemned the act of Grigorian and stressed that in his club such violations of the internal regime are excluded.

“In my opinion, this is not quite the correct and correct behavior of the head coach. In our club, this just will not allow. The coach must concentrate on the game, on the defensive actions of his team and closely monitor the concentration of his players before an important game, ”said Gabulov on Match TV.

However, there were those who supported Grigorian. Former Russian national football team coach Alexander Borodyuk said he did not see anything reprehensible in his colleague’s behavior.

“The situation is overblown. He is an adult and has the right to choose what he does and when. Each coach decides in his own way, you just need to discuss this with the leadership of the club, ”the specialist said.

By the way, “Tambov” Grigorian still lost to “Lokomotiv”. After the game, communicating with journalists, the coach stressed that he does not exclude that, sooner or later, he will again replace the coaching field with a television studio.
