Spartak defender Georgy Jikia did not rule out that he would play in Russia until the end of his career.
On Sunday, the Red-Whites beat Lokomotiv at home in the match of the 10th round of the WORLD RPL (1:0).
– Eurocups are an additional motivation, which we lack a little. Leave for Europe? It’s not too late for me, but I don’t plan to leave. Why not play until the end of your career, until your knees are worn out, ”the Match TV website quotes Jikia as saying.
Jikia as part of the Moscow team became the champion of Russia in 2017. Previously, he defended the colors of Amkar Perm, Khimik Dzerzhinsky, Spartak Nalchik.
