Moskalev suggested why Karasev refers to him affectionately during the match

Football referee Vladimir Moskalev suggested in a conversation with RT that colleague Sergei Karasev refers to him in a diminutive form, so that it would be easier for him to reach him in certain situations.

– It was a kind of meme how Karasev addressed you (“Volodya, Volodenka”). Do Russian judges really communicate with each other in such stressful situations so respectfully or is this a special case?

It’s hard for me to speak for everyone. As I already said, we have good relations with Gennadyevich. Perhaps this way it is easier for him to get through to me in certain situations.

– In that video, moments were presented in which you and Karasev always found consensus and made a common decision. But have you ever had a sharp disagreement with a VAR referee?

“Of course it happens. These are working episodes. All people are different and look at football differently, understand martial arts. Therefore, talk about refereeing has always been, is and will be. Each person has his own opinion on this or that account. But there are no mistakes at all.
