Ivanov said that Rubin players gave money to Bezrukov, who joked about the bonus
Rubin midfielder Oleg Ivanov spoke about the team’s reaction to the joke of Kazan midfielder Ruslan Bezrukov, who demanded a cash bonus from Krasnodar. His words are quoted by Izvestia.
“Did the team encourage him? As a team, we threw money at him. So that he doesn’t ask again,” Ivanov noted, adding that Bezrukov worried about what happened during the first two days.
Ivanov called the excitement around his teammate’s words absurd. “Someone reacted in such a way that they thought it offended someone. This is probably where this reaction comes from,” the athlete emphasized.
On April 24, Bezrukov jokingly demanded a bonus from Krasnodar for defeating Zenit in the RPL match. The head of the RFU, Alexander Dyukov, considered the statement unacceptable, and the ethics committee promised to consider the midfielder’s words.
