To begin with - quote: official, long, but necessary.
“Last Friday, at a press conference in ITAR-TASS, the President of the Russian Football Union Vitaly Mutko expressed claims against refereeing in the butt qualifying match of our youth team in Portugal. The refereeing of the chief referee of Dutch Peter Finnish, the head of Russian football called the biased: “The Portuguese side showed disrespect for our delegation, performing the old anthem at the traditional ceremony,” Mutko emphasized. - After that, at the beginning of the match, the judge “puts” the penalty at our gate, and a little later removes our player. As a result, 20-year-old guys were psychologically broken. ”
... Here you are, I suppose, did not watch that match. And I, with football on the whole head, watched. At first he was sick, then he just sat, was upset ... Everything was clear as a day, and even with a huge handicap, only a miracle could save. Alas, the Portuguese were stronger - obviously, in all respects, all ninety minutes - and won with the right score. Annoying? Of course.
But for various reasons.
It’s annoying that young Portuguese play football, and ours suffer - and I am upset. Mutko is annoying that the subordinate team did not provide the desired indicator, and he is looking for guilty.
The abroad is to blame, as always. Then don't go to the grandmother. Mutko was not yet born, but she was to blame. Either Lord Kerzon, then a world backstage. Now the judge of the penalty was set, he broke the players psychologically. In short, conspiracy!
Lord, your will! Where is the estate, where is the flood? The judge set the penalty, because the player played his hand in the penalty area! He played with his hand, the judge set the penalty - what was he left?
And instead of Aleksandrov, Glinka was definitely not setting the Dutchman! I give a tooth, Mr. Mutko! Someone did it completely different! And they did not agree with that Dutchman! This someone else, responsible for the player, simply did not ripen his brains for the next turn of ideology in this strange, distant and mysterious country of Russia. The miss came out. He is not against Putin, he is just a Portuguese ... to smile about this, to joke - and live on ... but no: disrespect, conspiracy!
“President UEFA Lennart Johansson and the director of UEFA Lars-Crister Ulsson did not find what to answer the indignations of the head of the RFU, translating the question to another topic,” ITAR-TASS said.
Still. I was numb, poor Swedes. As you go numb every time, faced with irrational. I am afraid of the incorrect movement to open inadvertently some other abyss.
... The story with the lost butt match “Youth” is a melting, by golly. And they were not so lost, including the Portuguese. But psychiatric diagnoses, in which we sign in public over and over again - a serious matter. Regular tantrums give us unfortunate notorious European provincials. Flawed, aggressive, stupid.
And now, instead of learning - to play football, whether to debug democratic mechanisms - we scream for decades, complain and tear the shirts on ourselves, making, we must admit, a strong impression on Europe.
But not football. Victor Shenderovich
