“The hysteria and bullying of our player is completely unacceptable.” Spartak spoke about the situation with Sobolev

Spartak called unacceptable the situation with the persecution of striker Alexander Sobolev after the match with CSKA in the 28th round of the WORLD RPL.

The match took place on May 21 and ended with the victory of the Red-Whites with a score of 2:1. Sobolev, after one of the martial arts in the second half, showed an obscene gesture to CSKA player Willian Roche, pointing to his groin. After that, Rocha appealed to the referee and repeated the obscene gesture to the linesman. Sobolev was sent off in the 66th minute for an obscene gesture towards the opponent, Rosha for an obscene gesture towards the podium and the assistant referee.

– We are preparing for the meeting of the FTC, we will provide all the necessary materials that we have. Sobolev’s gesture does not paint him, Sasha has already apologized for this, the coach also spoke about this in detail at a press conference. At the same time, the artificial escalation of the situation, hysteria and harassment of our player are completely unacceptable. As well as an attempt to put pressure on the members of the FTC,” the press service of Spartak said in a statement.

Both players were invited to a meeting of the Control and Disciplinary Committee (CDC) of the RFU, where their removals will be considered.
