ROME – The two players of the Russian national team Aleksandr Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev are one step away from the dismissal from Zenit and Krasnodar respectively.
The two players of the National team, taken from the video surveillance cameras of the room, became protagonists of an attack against a Russian government official. The two, perhaps drunk, have targeted the unfortunate and Kokorin has also launched against a chair.
Kokorin, striker of the Zenit class '91, also risks prison. The maximum sentence is five years.
Zenit distances: "We absolutely condemn this action, we are now evaluating the right punishment for the player. We are deeply disappointed by the behavior of one of the most talented players in our country ".
Mamaev , a Krasnodar midfielder who has already been out of team, does not get any better: "What we saw in the video is outrageous. And there can be no excuse for this gesture – we read on the official website of the club -. We are studying the way to terminate the contract, albeit still short, with the player ".
Sports Minister Pavel Kolobkov who announced the immediate withdrawal of the two from the National coached by Stanislav Cherchesov: "The victims have turned to the police, there are videos. The two players have no extenuating circumstances, if their guilt will be fully proven they will never play again in the Russian national team. Their behavior casts a shadow over all our football ".
