“From the point of view of the interests of football, it would be more appropriate to allow them to play. The situation is not simple. Yes, they were released the day after the deadline for registering players, but the court decision was known much earlier. Of course, I’m not a lawyer, but it seems to me that it was necessary to declare it in the interests of football, ”Koloskov told RT.
However, the honorary president of the RFU does not understand why Zenit tried to declare a player who would take a long time to gain a game form.
“It is clear that Kokorin will need at least four months to get in shape in order to start playing. In this case, why fence the garden and ask to change the rules for the sake of a player who is not ready yet? Let him calmly train, no one will forbid him, ”added Koloskov.
Earlier, the lawyer stated that it was pointless for Zenit to appeal to the CAS in the Kokorin case.
