– It was a good match. When you win against Spartak, it’s always nice. “Rostov” played well, the score is in the game. I have already watched enough matches, and only positive emotions from the game of Rostovites, – said Kalachev “RB Sport“.

– Rostov is now in third place. Can he compete with Zenith?

– Absolutely not. Zenit is too different from all teams. The rest of the clubs “Rostov” can impose a struggle. Recent games show that there is not much difference between the top eight teams. Why not compete for the top three.

— How do you like the atmosphere at the stadium?

I understand the whole situation. I have something to compare. I know how they know how to cheer in Rostov-on-Don, and people come to the stadium with great pleasure.

After nine rounds of the Russian Championship, Rostovites are in third place with 19 points.
