“We must pay tribute to Karasev, who did not assign a penalty for the offensive” – Mostovoy

Former midfielder of the Russian national team Alexander Mostovoy believes that the chief referee Sergei Karasev in the match of the 28th round of the WORLD RPL between Spartak and CSKA did not correctly appoint a penalty in the moment of duel between Igor Diveev and Roman Zobnin.

Sunday’s meeting, held at the “Opening Bank Arena”, ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of Spartak. In the 83rd minute, the VAR center watched an episode in which CSKA defender Diveev stepped on the foot of Spartak midfielder Zobnin inside the army team’s penalty area. Karasev was called to the monitor, but did not appoint a 11-meter kick.

– We must pay tribute to Karasev – he became the first referee who did not appoint a penalty for the offensive. It is correct that he did not put it, because it was not there. We are already laughing at these offensives, but it is no longer funny. A man knocks the ball, then where will he put his leg, with which he knocked him out?

It’s good that the arbitrator figured it out here, in principle, VAR could not be contacted here, VAR had to prompt itself and that’s it.

On the second penalty – at first I thought that it was, because when a person falls as if he is about to jump into the pool, it might seem that there was some kind of fatal blow: to the leg, ankle, somewhere else. But when I watched the replay two or three times, I realized that this was not a penalty for me,” Mostovoy told Gazeta.Ru.

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

Barcelona midfielder pedri He answered the question about his attitude towards the new format of the Champions League with the general group stage.

“Do I like the new format of the Champions League? I can’t say with 100% certainty which format I like more: this one or the previous one?”

If I have to choose, I will do something new: There were more matches between strong teams in the first stage,” said Pedri, as quoted by Esquire.

Martinez explains why Ronaldo is still irreplaceable in the national team

Head coach of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez He explained why Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play an important role in the national team.

– There is always a lot of talk around Cristiano Ronaldo. Why does he remain the undisputed starter for the Portuguese national team, even though he will soon be 41?

“It’s all about his attitude towards the profession.” We constantly evaluate three key factors: talent level, accumulated experience and the contribution a player can make to the national team.

Making the highest demands on himself for the benefit of the team allows the captain to maintain his place in the squad. His desire to be the best is passed on to his partners. “The 25 goals he scored in 30 matches as a striker confirms that his play brings tangible benefits to the national team,” he said.
