“Dzhikia has already played 200 matches for Spartak. It’s okay if he misses a couple” – Hadji

Former Spartak administrator Alexander Khadzhi spoke about the playing time of team defender Georgy Dzhikia.

On Saturday, Spartak defeated Dynamo at home in the 9th round of the WORLD RPL (1:0), Jikia spent the entire match on the bench.

— It’s hard to say why Abaskal began to include Dzhikia in the lineup less often. We do not participate in the training process. It is unlikely that Abaskal has a biased opinion towards Georgiy, because he is a captain and a respected person. I don’t really like Duarte, because he has some serious mistakes, but Jikia also makes them. It’s a bit difficult for Georgiy to play in the center, but he covers the flank well.

It doesn’t seem to me that Duarte is better, but perhaps Jikia is somewhat late in training. This means that we need to show ourselves better in training. I would like to wish him not to turn sour. Dzhikia has already played 200 matches for Spartak. It’s okay if he misses a couple,” “Championship” quotes Hadji as saying.
