Zinkovsky: “If Berisha had touched Abaskal, of course, he would have been removed”

Spartak midfielder Anton Zinkovsky commented on the scandalous episode with Akhmat player Bernard Berisha after the first goal conceded in the team match in the 17th round of the WORLD RPL.

On Sunday, the Grozny team beat Spartak at home with a score of 2:1. After Hamid Agalarov’s goal against the Muscovites in the first half, the head coach of the “red-whites” Guillermo Abascal received a red card when he pushed Berisha. Before this, the player jumped with both feet into the Spartak technical area next to the coach. Berisha received a yellow card.

– I haven’t seen the episode. I only saw it later, after the match. I was surprised. Naturally, this was a provocation. It was clear that he was jumping. Why did he jump? I just didn’t notice it in the match. After about 20 seconds I turned around and saw about 20 people in a commotion.

Honestly, I don’t know how this is interpreted, I can’t judge. If Berisha had touched, of course, he would have been removed. This is a health hazard. Although, even if he is nearby, this is also a health threat. It was clear that Berisha was jumping very close,” Zinkovsky was quoted as saying by “Championship.”
