Former CSKA football player Kuznetsov – about the episode with Zobnin: “Kick the ball out! And all questions would be removed “

Spartak Moscow midfielder Roman Zobnin had to knock the ball out of bounds in a controversial episode of the Russian Championship match with CSKA, which led to a goal against the Red-Whites, according to former army footballer Dmitry Kuznetsov.

The meeting took place on Sunday at the CSKA stadium and ended with the score 2:2. Zobnin voluntarily released the ball in the middle of the first half, which was picked up by the Red-Blues player Milan Gajic. The Serb subsequently launched an attack leading to Fedor Chalov’s first goal.

Why didn’t Zobnin knock the ball out? Let Zobnin be asked why he didn’t do it. What should a man on the field think, how should he act? Let him pass on to run with the ball or take the ball away? Let him kick the ball out. He raised his hands, you see. So what? Kick the ball out! And all questions would be removed. The ball is out of play, let the referee look. Only the referee can stop the game. Football players must play.

I don’t know why it happened, but it happened. I can’t guess why the man got up with the ball – I want to take it away. There is nothing to be angry about.

Promes hit Rosa? There was no removal. Yellow card. There was not an accented blow, but a light poke. Rosha just simulated a fall, a strong blow. Karasev went, looked and made the right decision – this is a yellow card, not a red one, – quotes Kuznetsov’s words “Championship”.
