Spartak and Lokomotiv are ready to participate in European competitions, Kavazashvili believes

Former goalkeeper of the USSR national team Anzor Kavazashvili praised the performance of Spartak and Lokomotiv in the second leg of the quarterfinal match of the FONBET Cup of Russia.

The meeting, which took place on February 27, ended with a score of 4:2 in favor of the “red-whites”.

– It seemed to me that today two teams are ready to participate in European competitions. Abascal no longer surprises me, he has adjusted the training system and the attacking power of Spartak. I was surprised by Galaktionov: he took a risk and took two veterans who breathed strength into the very team that had been looking for itself all year – they tried, but nothing worked. Now the team has everything: Miranchuk started playing, and with the arrival of Smolnikov and Dziuba, the team has absolutely changed for the better. I congratulate Galaktionov,” Kavazashvili told Gazeta.Ru.

Spartak reached the semi-finals of the RPL Path of the Russian Cup, Lokomotiv will continue to play in the Path of Regions.
