Moscow “Spartak” presented the calendar of the season 2023/24 MIR RPL by posting an anime-style video on social networks.
In the Spartak video, you can see a lot of references to rivals in the Russian championship. So, the “red-whites” trolled CSKA, presenting the match with the army team in the form of referee Sergei Karasev with a guitar, and the game with Rostov was a race of dolphins with the numbers of Alexander Sobolev and Nikolai Komlichenko on their backs.
Also in the video, the capital club hinted at the work of the VAR referee, who was “reading the newspaper” at the moment when an “unaccented offensive” occurred in the “blue-white-blue” penalty area in the game between Spartak and Zenit. In the newspaper itself, you can see the headlines “Excursion for guests from Rio de Janeiro” and “Russian passport – quickly!”.
The video also got Ural, Dynamo and other RPL clubs.
In the first round of the new RPL draw, Spartak will play at home with Orenburg. The meeting will be held from 21 to 23 July.
