Syomin: Torpedo was unfairly expelled from the league
The "Torpedo" team was expelled from the league by the Russian Premier League for attempting to organize fixed matches. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Famous coach Yury Syomin expressed his thoughts on this matter. The former head coach of "Lokomotiv" considers the decision of the disciplinary committee of the Russian Football Union to be unfair.
According to Syomin, the punishment should have been applied to the management, not the team. The coach emphasized that such a decision is wrong towards the players who played honestly and worked hard.
"Torpedo" was supposed to play against the CSKA team in the first round of the Russian Premier League. Now the Russian Football Union will determine who will take the place of the "automakers."
In the football community, two candidates - the "Orenburg" and "Ural" teams - are being discussed for this position. This situation is causing significant debates in the football field.
