The head coach of Spartak Guillermo Abascal, after defeating CSKA in the 28th round of the MIR RPL, said that sanctions would be applied to forward Alexander Sobolev, who was removed for an indecent gesture.

The meeting was held on Sunday in Moscow at the Otkritie Bank Arena stadium, Spartak won a strong-willed victory with a score of 2:1. The forward of the “red-whites” Alexander Sobolev, after one of the martial arts in the second half, showed an obscene gesture to the defender of CSKA Willian Roche, pointing to his groin. After that, Rocha appealed to the referee and repeated this gesture. Referee Sergei Karasev decided to remove both players. This happened in the 66th minute of the game with the score 1:1.

– You were also lucky that the referee sent off the players of both teams. Do you think Sobolev deserves blame for the episode? Should he apologize to the fans who saw the gesture?

– Definitely, 100% he will be punished. What Sobolev did does not correspond to the values u200bu200bthat are in Spartak. But hopefully you also saw Roshi’s gestures and his harshness towards Sobolev. It is important to note that in the previous match with CSKA in the 10th minute, Quincey received a yellow card when he fouled Roche. There was a similar episode in that match, but the referee limited himself to a yellow card.

– Do you have an understanding of how to re-educate Sasha?

– If this happens again, the person will not play. First of all, this is respect, this is education. This is not tennis, not athletics, where every man is for himself. Here everyone plays in a team, and you need to act for the good of the team. This is the second time this has happened, Martins has also been punished for his behavior in the past. If this is repeated, they will watch football on the bench, – the Match TV correspondent reports Abaskal’s words.

Spartak scored 53 points and climbed to third place in the RPL table, CSKA is second with 54 points.

Live broadcasts of MIR RPL matches are available on Match TV and MATCH PREMIER TV channels, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.

All players of the Ukrainian national team. Szabo chose Ukraine’s best football players

Former coach of the Ukrainian national team Jozsef Szabo Meta.ua has exclusively chosen the version of the three best Ukrainian football players of this season for its website.

“In the first row, Ilya Zabarny is almost out of the competition,” Sabo said. – As far as I remember, there has been no regression in the game yet. Yes, the defender had unimpressive tackles, but these were isolated cases. But he’s only 23 years old. The contract with Paris Saint-Germain shows that this football player is currently one of the best in Europe. And do not forget that at that age he played 55 matches for the Ukrainian national team.

I will give second place to Ruslan Malinovsky, who seems to have found a second youth after being injured. This guy’s head is clear, making great passes is not difficult for a midfielder. Largely thanks to Malinovsky’s effective play, the Ukrainian national team managed to qualify for the play-offs in the 2026 World Cup qualifying tournament.

The third will be Everton’s left back Vitaly Mikolenko. He is a consistent starter for his team. And no matter what position the team is in, the English league is still the strongest league in Europe. He is an irreplaceable football player in the national team.

Dzyuba appreciated coach Slutsky’s work at Shanghai Shenhua in 2025

Leonid Slutsky last year he performed well as coach of the Shanghai Shenhua football team. This opinion was expressed by the striker of Togliatti “Akron” Artem Dzyuba.

Last season, Slutsky took second place in the Chinese league with Shanghai Shenhua and led the club to the Asian Champions League playoffs for the first time. The team also won the Chinese Super Cup.

“He’s doing well in China, the only thing he was missing was a championship, everything was leading to that,” Dziuba said. “But it’s tough for a team that’s been in fifth place all their life, they don’t have that winning mentality.”

Slutsky is 54 years old and has been at the helm of the Chinese club since December 2023. In his career he has coached Rubin Kazan, Uralan Elista, Mosca, Krylya Sovetov Samara, CSKAEnglish “Hull” and Dutch “Vitesse”. Together with CSKA the specialist became champion of Russia three times, won the Russian Cup and the Super Cup twice.
