A UEFA investigator today questioned Slavic football player Ondrej Kudela in connection with events in retaliation last week for the European League round in Glasgow against the Rangers last week.
At the end of the match, the midfielder of the “Riders”, Glen Kamara, accused the defenders of the Praguers of racist insult, but the Czech player strongly rejected it, as did the Vršovice club.
The domestic mid-pole attacker attacked the cabin in the tunnel after the match of Kúdel, according to Slavia, the incident is recorded in the report of the UEFA delegate.
The events are already being dealt with by UEFA and its Spanish investigator. “Today, the investigating UEFA inspector heard Ondřej Kúdel about the incidents that took place during and after the Slavia Prague and Rangers match in the eighth finals of the European League. declaration.
“With regard to the ongoing investigation, we will not provide further information. In relation to UEFA, the club is represented by lawyer René Cienciala, an expert in international and sports law from the law firm Urban & Hejduk,” added Slavia.
Kúdela is currently performing representational duties and was inspected online by a UEFA inspector. On Wednesday, Kúdel started in the basic line-up of the Czech team in the opening match of the World Cup qualification against Estonia and contributed to the 6: 2 victory. With the national team, he is now preparing for Saturday’s home match with Belgium in Eden.
Slavia won 2-0 in Glasgow last Thursday and advanced to the quarterfinals of the European League after a home draw 1: 1. The Rangers could not bear the course of retaliation and performed a number of unsportsmanlike interventions. After a brutal foul by Kemar Roofe, goalkeeper Ondřej Kolář, who suffered a broken face, had to take turns after an hour of play.
One of the other home foul fouls in the 87th minute caused an incident between Kúdela and Kamara. The Slavic stopper said something to his opponent with his mouth covered, and midfielder Rangers subsequently accused him of racist insult, but he has not yet substantiated his claim with any evidence.
Although Kúdela admitted that he used obscene words, he denied the allegations of racism, as did the club. He explained the covered mouth by saying that he normally communicated in this way during matches, so it was an automatic movement.
The Rangers did not want to let the Slavs into the cabin after the match. Less than an hour after the final whistle, Kamara attacked and fled in the presence of both coaches of the home team, Steven Gerrard, and guest Jindřich Trpišovský Kúdel in the tunnel into the cabins.
According to Slavia, the UEFA representative was watching the incident. The management of the Czech champion filed a criminal complaint due to Kamar’s attack.
The coach of the Czech national team, Jaroslav Šilhavý, also stood up for Kúdel.
