Ilya Gerkus commented on the controversy in Russian football

Famous football functionary Ilya Gerkus commented on the numerous controversies and problems that have arisen in Russian football during the pre-summer season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

In recent days, there has been discussion about the possibility of the "Torpedo" team being relegated from the Premier League. If it is determined that there was illegal influence on the referees, this decision may not be out of the question.

Previously, the "Khimki" team was unable to obtain a license, so "Pari NN" took its place, but they lost in subsequent matches. Additionally, the one-year disqualification of Vladimir Pisarov for indirect involvement in match-fixing caused a significant stir.

Ilya Gerkus described this situation as complex, but not systematic, rather a convergence of various factors. According to him, this is a statistical anomaly.

The Russian championship will start on July 18, Friday. The pre-season events are being closely monitored by football fans and experts.

It was emphasized that ensuring fairness and legality in the field of football is of great importance.
