Former USSR national team and former defender of the capital's CSKA team, Vladimir Ponomarov, responded to the words of Alexander Medvedev, chairman of the board of the St. Petersburg "Zenit" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Medvedev, the mistakes made by referees in the matches involving "Zenit," "Lokomotiv," and "Spartak" had a serious impact on the championship race last season. Ponomarov called these opinions baseless and foolish.
He stated, "The train has left a long time ago. What’s the point of talking about this?
This is some kind of nonsense. Medvedev doesn’t seem to be a smart person; has he completely lost his mind?" expressing his astonishment.
Currently, the national champion is the "Krasnodar" team, which is only one point behind "Zenit." Therefore, there is strong competition in the championship race.
The topic of referees' decisions and their impact on the game continues to spark debates among fans and experts. Such opinions encourage deep reflection on justice and fairness in the sports field.
