Rostov head coach Valery Karpin said that he was pleased that his team got three points after defeating Spartak in the Russian Championship match, and not that it was Spartak that was beaten.

The meeting of the ninth round of the WORLD of the Russian Premier League (RPL) was held on Sunday in Rostov-on-Don and ended with a score of 4:2 in favor of the home team.

– Did you have to anger the team with a goal today?

– I think that this is not anger and not fear, but rather stiffness, responsibility for the result. After a missed goal, they loosened up, and another game has already begun.

Did the game turn out the way you expected, or did you have to rebuild something?

– I didn’t have to rebuild, but, as always, to suggest some points during the break. There were some inaccuracies and mistakes. But I would like to play from the very beginning as after a goal.

– What about the injuries of (Evgeny) Chernov and (Nikolay) Komlichenko?

– Not yet clear, of course. Tomorrow will be clearer.

– Do you get even a little more pleasure from the victory over Spartak than over the other team?

“Honestly, I’m tired of talking. For some reason you don’t believe. The first time, the first two games, probably yes. This is clear. Now, no more, no less. The pleasure is great from the fact that they took three points. From this – yes, but specifically from the fact that they beat Spartak, no. Satisfaction is always primarily from points, and not from the team you beat, – Karpin is quoted by Match TV.

Rostov climbed to third place in the Russian Championship standings with 19 points, in the tenth round of the RPL, the Rostovites will play at home with the Samara Wings of the Soviets.
