Artem Frankov: “I looked into the scorecards of our first league matches and couldn’t believe my eyes”

Well-known Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov talks about the "revolutionary" innovation in the first league of the Ukrainian championship.

“I looked into the protocols of the matches of our first league and could not believe my eyes. No, the inscription “buffalo” did not appear on the elephant’s cage, worse: a new and hitherto unseen cage appeared - an assistant to the FFU / UAF delegate! It is characteristic that this is not seen in the UPL.

My first thought: let good people earn money, either at the expense of clubs, or at the expense of UEFA. But maybe I don’t understand something and just the new time sets new severe tasks for football functionaries? Well, they don’t let spectators into the stadium or carry out general management of air defense ...

In short: I understand who a delegate is (check the presence of a fire truck, an ambulance, a bomb shelter and the stadium itself) and who an inspector (referee observer) is. But what is an assistant delegate?!” - Frankov wrote in Telegram.
