Referee Zakharov criticized the appointment of a Polish referee for the World Cup final

The appointment of the Polish referee Szymon Marciniak for the final match of the World Cup was evaluated by the FIFA referee, one of the best referees in Russia at the beginning of the two thousandth Igor Zakharov. Some associations also came to mind.

– Worthy choice?

– For the final – not so obvious. Apparently, someone wants to average today the judiciary and its capabilities.

– Someone is who?

– The Italians who are in charge of this kitchen today. They certainly work in a certain political trend. Not so much geopolitical as judicial. They might as well appoint the girls who were already attracted here.

– Are you against women in men’s football?

– Absolutely.

– Another non-substantive question: could one of the Russian referees referee the final at his current level?

– Bezborodov and Karasev.

– Arbitrator Igor Fedotov said that the appointment of Marciniak is a purely political decision. It is impossible for the Englishman Taylor, since the war with the British for the Falklands is still fresh in my memory. Can such motives be taken seriously?

– Of course not.

– And one more curious statement of his: the Brazilian Sampaio was not given, because he had already sued too much …

– Such arguments are not taken into account all the more. With respect to Igor, because I encountered him in the most unexpected situations. We were even somehow attacked by bandits when I was inspecting it in Tyumen. And he is a strong commando, a mallet, what you need. He says, let me get out of the car, I’ll figure it out. Barely kept. Good referee. Wasn’t taken away.

– They appoint you to the final from a position, no matter what happens?

– Collina and Rozzetti, who are in charge of the judiciary today, think so. I was convinced of this when I was awarded the “Golden Mantle” at the celebration. Collina then came for a fee of 25 thousand, and expressed his position on the sidelines very clearly. Football is money. I remember Lidia Grigorievna, the widow of Valentin Kazmich Ivanov, was standing. I was so shocked by this that I put the simplest Russian language into circulation.

– Collina understands, but how can Rozzetti today influence the promotion of European referees in Qatar, even being the head of the UEFA refereeing corps?

– The Italians will always find a common language if they are not in opposition. And they are in unison today. Rozzetti is generally one of those who trickle in, just to pay. He came to the RFU with a backpack, as the poorest, unfortunate. There was a story when his child was beaten at a Moscow school, so he didn’t even say a word. Why scandal when they pay well. I then headed the department and somehow showed him a map of Russia, so he confused the Far East with Kaliningrad.

– Today, however, he is quite good at using the map of Europe, advancing his referees even to the World Cup final.

– Poor progress. Without Collina, she does not take a step, as an independent figure.

– You have some kind of jealous attitude towards them …

– Not at all. Moreover, both would be the best in the final today. Great Judges. But not as functionaries of the judiciary…

– Specifically, to the appointed Martsinyak. He was not involved in scandals. Two games here before a total of five “yellow”. Calm guy?

– Gray mouse. And the final of the World Cup – it should become a performance not only through the players.

– They usually say, on the contrary, that the referee should remain the most inconspicuous on the field …

– At the same time, he should be the most important, respected figure.

– In what manner should he hold the upcoming final?

– If he does not immediately set the bar for what is acceptable, then he will get confused.
