Grigoryan said that any red-haired coach arouses his sympathy, but it is difficult for him to grasp Abascal’s train of thought

Russian coach Alexander Grigoryan said that he has sympathy for Spartak head coach Guillermo Abascal, like any red-haired coach, but noted that it is difficult for him to understand the thoughts of the Spanish specialist regarding the choice of the squad for the MIR RPL and FONBET Russian Cup matches.

On Wednesday, in the fifth round of the group stage of the RPL Path of the Russian Cup, Spartak will play away against Dynamo. The starting whistle will be blown at 16:45 (Moscow time).

— Spartak will have maximum rotation. This is due to the fact that the issues in the Cup at this stage have been resolved. Speaking of Spartak’s rotation, Abaskal can arrange it out of the blue. It’s hard to follow his train of thought. I don’t criticize him, I have sympathy for him. In any case, any red-haired coach always evokes my sympathy, just like a red-haired football player. The red-haired player always has a place in my lineup.

The games between Spartak and Dynamo are a derby, regardless of the rotation. In any case, we will see passion, gunpowder and blood. This is guaranteed to us. I will bet on a scoring draw – 2:2, because 100% a lot of goals will be scored in this match.

– And in the penalty shootout?

“On penalties, I’m confident in Spartak,” Match TV quotes Grigoryan as saying.
