Eduard Spertsyan would never insult anyone on racial grounds – Nair Tiknizyan

Former Lokomotiv and CSKA defender Nair Tiknizyan, now playing for Crvena Zvezda, commented on the accusations of racism directed at Krasnodar midfielder and captain Eduard Spertsyan following a clash with Akhmat defender Ousmane N’Dong during the 11th round of the Russian Premier League.

“I’ve known Edik Spertsyan for a very long time. He’s a well-mannered and humble guy who would never allow himself to insult anyone on racial grounds. Football is full of emotions, but Spertsyan knows how to stay composed and channel it in the right direction,” Tiknizyan said.
