Former striker of the Russian national team Roman Pavlyuchenko appreciated the game of Spartak and Lokomotiv in the quarterfinal match of the RPL FONBET Way of the Russian Cup.
The meeting took place on Monday and ended with a score of 4:2 in favor of the “red-whites”.
— I am very glad that Spartak won today, but I want to praise Lokomotiv as well. I really liked the “railwaymen” despite the bill. They have nothing to lose, they still have to play on. Everything went well today, the Red-Whites played very well in defense, and in attack, too, of course. Everyone was talking about Promes, who was not at the training camp, but he physically looked the best, bright and good as a substitute. Spartak had a difficult victory.
Spartak is ready for the second part of the season. In stoppage time, in the 95th minute, everyone runs to the attack and back too, the team is physically well prepared. The same can be said about Lokomotiv, according to such a game they will definitely get out of the bottom and rise, the squad is good.
No disqualified players? They are the main team players who lead the game and make the result. According to today’s game, I would not say that they were directly lacking. The players who took these positions played very confidently. In the next game, Abascal will think about who will play (laughs). It’s good, competition in the team. The companies of players who have not played should be considered, because the guys are giving results today. The coach will have something to think about, – Metaratings.ru quotes Pavlyuchenko.
