“Spartak” needs to clean up the defense, says Kechinov

“Spartak” is experiencing problems in defense, constantly losing concentration and position, six-time Russian champion Valery Kechinov told Sport Day After Day, summing up the match of the 19th round of the WORLD RPL with Fakel.

Spartak beat Fakel 3-2 on Saturday.

– Definitely did not like that in the second game in a row we see problems in defense – we concede two goals each. Problems are visible: constant loss of positions, concentration. All this translates into conceded goals and such nervous games.

If you single out positive moments, then I liked the game ahead. Promes plays very brightly, Ignatov played brightly with Lokomotiv, Litvinov played brightly with Ural. In attack they play very spectacularly, scoring beautiful goals. But the defense needs to be put in order,” Kechinov said.

“Spartak” with 40 points takes the second place in the standings of the championship of Russia. In the next round, the Red-Whites will play on March 18 on the road against Orenburg.
