On Wednesday, Spartak defeated Moscow Dynamo 3-0 on its home field in the first round of the group stage of the RPL FONBET Russian Cup.
— How did you end up at the match?
— I was invited to watch football. I came with pleasure, now I support Spartak.
– Seriously?
— First I visited the hockey Spartak, now the football one. It turns out that I am now a Spartak fan. There is nothing I can do about it now.
Did you see how they played in the first 20 minutes? I thought everything would be the other way around. And then the guys turned the game around. No, I’m not one of the glory hunters, I’m with my guys until the end.
– How are you, what are you doing?
“Something there, something here. This and that,” Mozgov said on the Match TV channel.
