– I am glad that I played confidently enough in the match against Dynamo. All the guys congratulated on a good game. It would be nice to hear this from the head coach – and you can calmly recover and prepare for Krasnodar (laughs).
An easy win over Dynamo? If you start from the account, then probably yes. We started the match very well, but Dynamo somehow failed in a very strange way. It’s good that Sobol scored the first moment.
Then immediately the standard worked, which we played. In general, we knew their weak points and targeted them. Everything worked out. Already by the 25th minute the outcome of the game was predetermined. I didn’t want to repeat the match with PARI NN – we understood that we didn’t hit the same funnel twice, so everything would be fine, ”Chernov told the Championship.
After three rounds in the Russian Cup, Spartak has nine points, Guillermo Abascal’s team is in first place in group D.
