Conflict with Kanishchev

Valery Gazzaev: fighting the PFL is like going against a steam locomotive with a pitchfork
— What they are doing with Alania is chaos, and I don’t know when it will end. After the game with CSKA, Kanishchev was diagnosed with a ruptured ankle capsule. We sent the corresponding document to the PFL, signed by the team doctor, but they did not pay any attention to this, and the campaign to discredit Alania continued. I think that by Kanishchev’s resignation they are trying to justify the poor performance of the national team in Cyprus.
And two days before that, we received the following telegram from the PFL: “Disqualify Kakhaber Tskhadadze for attempting to physically influence an opponent.” What kind of disqualification can there be for attempting? And if Tskhadadze is to be disqualified, then similar measures must be taken against referee Gusev from Tobolsk, who in that match with CSKA did not count the clear goal we scored. All the media admitted that we scored it correctly!
In fact, I have recently become more calm about what is happening around our club. Because opposing the PFL is like walking into a steam locomotive with a pitchfork.
