“Moizes, who was named the best player of the match, shared his thoughts after the game between «Zenit» and «CSKA». This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Responding to a question about the situation that arose at the end of the match, the yellow card, and the dispute with the main referee, Moizes said: “It’s not easy to talk about refereeing. Today, in many situations, if a player slightly touched the opponent, the whistle was blown immediately.
In fact, «Zenit» doesn’t need this; they have good players in their squad, the team is strong. Fans pay for tickets to see beautiful and quality football.
Today, the referee disrupted the super derby. When we were on a counterattack, there was a collision with the opponent, the referee approached and told our player to ‘get up, get up’.
Why doesn’t he give a yellow card to the player who broke the rule? I told him ‘give it, give it’, and he showed me a yellow card.” Moizes also emphasized that both teams could be congratulated for fighting until the end.
In his opinion, players and coaches also believe that the referee negatively impacted the game today. Speaking about the reasons why CSKA could not maintain their important victory, Moizes said: “In the first half, our team played very well and deservedly.
Perhaps we did not fully capitalize on the opportunities we had. But we must admit that we played against «Zenit».
They brought on three experienced forwards at the end of the game. «Zenit» has always been a strong team, it’s very difficult to play here.
I congratulate our team on earning one point. Now we will rest and prepare for the next games.”
