Head coach of Rostov Valery Karpin commented on his team’s victory over Spartak in the 9th round RPL (4: 2).
What do you remember about the match against Spartak? The fact of having finally beaten a good team from the top of the standings. Before that, we played a draw with Dynamo and Sochi, these were the teams that are now in the lead. Now they have finally won. I remember this.
I didn’t like how we played until the Spartak goal. I think it was due to some kind of stiffness. After the goal, the game changed immediately. I think it’s mainly psychology, it’s understandable. I also liked Spartak. And they came out of defense well, and the guys worked it out, even when the pressure didn’t work. It’s not that it didn’t work out, but because the players on the other team also play well. And thanks to the skill they got out of defense. But everyone came back, everyone trained, everyone fought for each other.
