Russian coach Igor Osinkin commented on the situation regarding the suspension of forward Vladimir Pisarsky from football activities due to his indirect involvement in betting.

“When I worked with him, I never suspected he might be a player who enjoys betting. Initially, I thought he had just lent some money, and that was the extent of his involvement. You can’t believe everything the press says, but I did hear he was aware of how his money was being used. That’s a legal matter I’m not prepared to discuss.

I want to say that not everyone truly understands Vova Pisarsky, but as a person, he is quite decent. Of course, the unexpected red card in the match against ‘Pari Nizhny Novgorod’ was puzzling. He has already apologized for it, which is typical of him,” Osinkin stated in a video on the YouTube channel “Oh, Football!”.
