Aldonin: Unfair criticism of the Torpedo club is incorrect

Former player of the Russian national team Yevgeniy Aldonin expressed his thoughts on the recent events regarding the exclusion of the Moscow "Torpedo" football club from the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Aldonin emphasized that similar situations have occurred in the history of European football with even more prestigious clubs. No one is completely protected from such situations, so it is wrong to permanently label the club with a bad reputation.

It has been revealed that the "Torpedo" club was expelled from the league due to attempts by its management to influence the results of the games. In this regard, the "Orenburg" team will take the place of "Torpedo" in the new season.

"Orenburg" finished in 15th place in the Premier League this season and was relegated based on sports criteria. These events are of significant importance for the fairness and transparency of Russian football and should serve as a warning lesson for all teams.
