Chervichenko “Cup CIS can cause ethnic conflicts”
Baku, February 20 (AZERTAC). The former owner of a football Moscow “Spartak” Andrew Chervichenko skeptical about the prospects of the combined championship of Russia and Ukraine, which today is too much talk.
“I can say unequivocally that I am opposed to such ideas - said Chervichenko sportbox.ru. - I think the whole project smacks of populism. Each country has its own tournament, which is to develop and to try to do more - why confuse them one pile? meeting on Monday did not give any reply to that effect, in fact, led to only more questions.
People who want to achieve this, you have declared that very large sums, I realized that the main financial burden will be on Russia. Why then can not invest that money in our football? Why can not we develop the Russian championship, if you can use such a lot of money? The meeting identified specific dates start of the championship, but this is something we can say if the meeting was attended by only one Ukrainian club?
Another issue - the system and increase flight clubs from one league to another. In the first championship starts on an equal number of teams from the two countries, but in the future composition of leagues will be formed on the end of a sports season. When the flight will be more Russian and Ukrainian teams, compatriots certainly will help each other to survive, and on this basis there will always recriminations, and even international conflicts.
I do not think the idea of this tournament is realizable, it is not necessary either Russia or Ukraine. “
