Smorodskaya: The punishment for Torpedo was excessive and harsh

Olga Smorodskaya, the former president of the "Lokomotiv" team from Moscow, expressed her opinion about the expulsion of the Moscow "Torpedo" team from the Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to her, the team was punished too harshly. "Although the Torpedo management made a mistake, the team is innocent.

The club could have been kept in the Premier League, and the punishment should have only been applied to the management," Smorodskaya said in an interview with "Sport-Express." It should be noted that the "autoworkers" were expelled from the Russian Premier League for attempting to organize fixed matches last season.

The place of the Moscow club has been taken by the "Orenburg" team. The new season of the Russian championship will start on July 18, Friday.

"Orenburg" will compete against the capital's CSKA team in the first round. This match is highly anticipated by fans.

Competition among Premier League teams is expected to intensify.
