The ex-footballer of Spartak Igor Ledyakhov told RB Sport that he considers the defeat of the Red-Whites from Orenburg in the 20th round of the WORLD RPL to be natural, and also noted the unsuccessful game of Muscovites defender Georgy Jikia.
On Saturday, Spartak lost to Orenburg in the match of the 20th round of the WORLD RPL with a score of 0:2. Jikia was unable to continue the meeting due to an injury to the back of the thigh and was replaced in the 76th minute.
“First of all, Spartak didn’t play well in defense, so all the defenders were replaced, except for Tavares,” said Ledyakhov. – In defense, the Red-Whites looked very weak. During the transitional phases, Orenburg intercepted the ball and went on a fast attack. “Spartak” in such moments poorly rebuilt. Orenburg had chances, except for goals scored. The result is natural. Today is not Spartak’s day.
– Is Jikia’s injury serious, in your opinion?
Apparently it’s an injury to the back of the thigh. George will miss at least three weeks. He flies with the national team, although the game that Jikia showed today is just a disgrace.
What happened to his game today?
He makes mistakes like this all the time. When the defense looks good in general, Jikia does not stand out, and when the partners look ugly, Giorgi does not lag behind them. According to the game, “Orenburg” looked good. Spartak did not succeed, especially in the first half. Prutsev made a lot of mistakes, Zobnin did not participate at all in the first half. Orenburgers very correctly approached this game.
“Spartak” with 40 points is on the second line in the standings, “Orenburg” scored 31 points and moved up to sixth place. In the next round, Orenburg will go on a visit to the Samara Wings of the Soviets, and Spartak will host the Grozny Akhmat at home.

For many, the coming year is associated with bright hopes and expectations of changes for the better in life and work. The famous football coach is no exception. Vladimir SharanShared with the reporter Spor.ua Statements about the New Year theme.
– Until what age did you believe in Santa Claus?
– I don’t even remember. Probably up to age six. No more. Until I went to school.
– What is the most unusual New Year celebration in your life?
– The most unusual and extraordinary was the New Year, which I spent in Israel during my stay as a player in the USSR youth team. An international tournament was organized in this country, in which our team participated. It’s plus twenty outside and we’re celebrating the new year in shorts and T-shirts.
The next day we had to play against the Swedish national team in the final. The Swedes sat next to our table on New Year’s Eve, they saw how we relaxed, and how we relaxed. Believe me, we rested much better and played much better (smiles). As it turned out, the Swedes were very weak at the festive table. We won the final match 2-0.
– As a Ukrainian citizen and a football coach, what do you expect from the new year 2026?
– To be honest, everyone is waiting for one thing; peace. And I’m not the only one who can say that. If there is peace, everything will return to normal. I really want the war to end as soon as possible, for people to be free, for parents not to bury their children. This is the most important thing. And as a coach, I expect changes for the better in our football.
I would like the Ukrainian championship to be full-fledged and finally achieve some kind of stability. And also for the Ukrainian national team to successfully pass the World Cup play-off tests and please the fans as often as possible. I also really want the football players in our club to have a good future, to become real football masters, to gain recognition and to be invited to various national teams.
