Former Paris Saint-Germain head coach Viktor Gancharenko addressed rumors that his team deliberately lost to Sochi in matches.
At the end of May, after a 2-1 victory in the first leg, Nizhny Novgorod lost 1-3 in the second leg. However, Paris Saint-Germain still retained a place in the RPL Thanks to the bankruptcy FC Khimki.
Gancharenko said the following about this defeat:
As soon as we lost to Sochi, the rumors immediately started that we had leaked the game. For my part, I’m ready to throw up my hands, I’m ready to take any lie detector test. Never in his life did he tell his players: “Let’s play slowly.”
It’s worth noting that Gancharenko broke up with Paris NN on June 12.
