The match between Avangard and Salyut turned into a scandal due to a comment made by the game commentator about fans

“MK in the Black Earth Region” already reported, that last Saturday the Kursk “Avangard” defeated the Belgorod “Salyut” at home. The meeting of principal rivals at the Trudovye Reservy stadium ended with a score of 6:1 in favor of the white-blues.

The confident victory of the Kursk team was overshadowed by one controversial fact, which consisted in the statements of the match commentator Egor Kuznetsov. Live he called Avangard fans “carlans.”

The press service of the football club considered such statements to be extremely inappropriate. Avangard demanded an explanation from the broadcasting company and from Kuznetsov himself.

“The Avangard football club expresses its maximum dissatisfaction with the work of the commentator at the match with Salyut. We can turn a blind eye as much as we want to incorrectly placed accents, incorrect facts about the club, situations where we clearly support the opposing team in reporting, but we are not ready to tolerate blatant disrespect for the fans who support our team,” the FC statement says. distributed on social networks.

The response from Yegor Kuznetsov did not take long to arrive. He explained that by “carlans” he initially meant “young fans.”

“That’s what young guys are called in the fan community. I got the feeling from the live broadcast that it was the young fans in the frame; there was definitely no negativity here,” added Kuznetsov.

He also called Avangard’s position to protect its fans commendable, but in this case it was most inappropriate, since there was no one to protect from. In addition, Kuznetsov noted that he was sincerely happy about Kursk’s goals in this meeting and in general prepared for the game very carefully and responsibly.

“If suddenly someone was offended by the word “carlans” (once again, these are young fans), then I apologize, but there was no insult here,” concluded Kuznetsov.
