Ignatov deserved a place in the main part of Spartak, Riancho believes

Former Spartak coach Raul Riancho praised the performance of the Red-White midfielder Mikhail Ignatov in the second leg of the FONBET Russian Cup quarterfinal against Lokomotiv, noting that the player deserves a place in the starting lineup.

On Monday, Spartak beat Lokomotiv in the second leg of the Russian Cup with a score of 4:2. In the first meeting, the Red-Whites won – 1:0. Ignatov in both matches entered the field in the starting lineup, in the second game he scored the ball, gave an assist and was recognized as the best player of the meeting.

– I’m not surprised that Ignatov brought great benefits in the Spartak – Lokomotiv match. Misha is a very smart football player, he deserves to play in the first team of the Red-Whites and be in the leading roles. This was evident even when I was at Spartak. Ignatov is a talented player, he has a great future. I am sure that soon Misha will outgrow the RPL level and he will have offers from Europe. But for this he needs to play regularly, – quotes the words of Riancho “RB Sport”.
