“Alexandrov gets punched, VAR doesn’t react. I’m tired of this, guys need to be respected” – PARIS NN coach Sergei Yuran
The head coach of Nizhny Novgorod “PARI NN” Sergei Yuran criticized the work of the team of referees for the group stage match of the RPL FONBET Russian Cup against Moscow “Spartak”.
The Group D meeting in Nizhny Novgorod ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of the guests. At the beginning of the second half, Alexander Maksimenko’s goal was scored by the hosts’ midfielder Alexander Troshechkin, but the goal was canceled after using the VAR system, for which Alexey Amelin was responsible. The game was officiated by a team of referees headed by Evgeniy Bulanov.
— I just looked, Amelin was sitting on VAR. In the 10th minute (PARI NN defender Viktor) Alexandrov received an uppercut, VAR did not react. I have nothing more to say if such things (happen). This is pure red, the purest. I just watched this episode on my tablet. VAR doesn’t see this, it hits him with his fist… What’s there to comment on? What kind of football can we talk about? I’m already tired of this, the guys also need to be respected,” Yuran said on Match TV.
