Chernomorets Supervisory Board Chairman Sergey Shishkarev He announced an attempt to manipulate the outcome of the match with Sochi at the end of the last league season.
I was asked to leave one episode behind the scenes, but I’ll try to speak very carefully so as not to spark a new wave of rumors. Leave it completely out of my hands. What Mr. Ponomarev did on the eve of the match with Sochi is considered malice and betrayal. There was an attempt to manipulate a football result. There was a hint of this in a conversation with Oleg Petrovich Vasilenko (head coach), and there was also a conversation with four key players. I don’t see any rational football logic in this. It happened at a difficult time for the team, when the players had already guessed they wouldn’t play in the scrimmages. As a result, they are being offered to act, not in sports, for me, it’s beyond the pale. I consider it out of malice and betrayal. I will never deal with Ponomarev again in my life. And if someone asks me for a recommendation or advice, the advice will be exactly the same as I said: they don’t deal with traitors any other way. Logic is really difficult to research. I can assume there was an attempt to present a surprise and an opportunity. Quid pro quo. You can interpret this logic however you like. This is the absurdity of this conversation. There is no practical sense here.
Recall that the 34th round of the Chernomorets conquered Sochi with a score of 2:1.
