Leonid Kuchuk: "Tarasov did not deserve another yellow card"
Lokomotiv head coach Leonid Kuchuk told the press conference the ejection of Dmitry Tarasov denied his team control of midfield.
– The game didn't go well, - said Kuchuk. - We conceded a goal in the very first attack, then came a penalty and the red card. After Tarasov had been sent off we lost control of midfield. Alas, the pitch was of a poor quality and didn't allow for any creativity. It slowed us down. Well, bad fields are the reality of the Russian football.
It seemed to me Tarasov did not deserve the second yellow card. But I don't want to comment on the referee's work. Let it be commented on by those who are entitled to do it. My job is to coach.
