The former head coach of Lokomotiv and Rostov, Yuri Semin, did not support the decision of the FTC RFU to suspend Vladimir Fedotov and Guillermo Abascal for one match for a verbal skirmish in the CSKA-Spartak match (2:2).
On Thursday, a meeting of the Control and Disciplinary Committee of the RFU was held, at which Abaskal was disqualified for one match and fined 50 thousand rubles for a skirmish with Fedotov. Fedotov was also suspended for one match and fined 50 thousand rubles, in addition, he was suspended for one match conditionally.
– Every coach had such episodes in his career. Especially in the derby emotions are on the limit, everyone wants to win. And in my practice it was when I gave myself the freedom to express myself. Therefore, I would not approve such a decision of the FTC. Abaskal and Fedotov are not small children to be punished for this, Semin told Sport24.
