The former head coach of the Russian national team, Stanislav Cherchesov, commented on the controversy surrounding the Moscow "Torpedo" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The club's co-owner Leonid Sobolev and director Valeriy Skorodumov were detained on suspicion of bribing a football referee. Cherchesov said in an interview with "Match TV": "Any opinion can be expressed, but we live in a country where the laws are paramount.
Civil and football laws must be followed. We need to wait for the situation to unfold.
This is an uncomfortable situation." It should be noted that last season, the "Torpedo" team finished second in the Melbet First League standings. Thus, the Moscow team managed to qualify directly for the Premier League.
This incident has sparked significant debate among football fans, and official legal proceedings are currently ongoing. Additional information about the team's future and the status of the parties involved will be announced soon.
