Former Spartak player Nikita Bazhenov shared his expectations from the “red-white” match against “Zenith” in the 8th round RPL.
The home arena will certainly help Spartak in the match against Zenit: it is more enjoyable to play at home. I really want to look at Spartak from one position: if the team will be able to impose the competition on today’s Zenit from a distance. Spartak can play badly, even if a kind of rebound happens and scores a goal, I don’t care at all. I want to look at Spartak from their strengths, how they will face Zenit for the whole match. Spartak can also lose, but if I see that the red and white have dominated for a while, created many chances, but they were just unlucky, then I will be calm for this team, because I will understand what they can do to claim something.
