— Rostov gave Spartak a nervous ending. How did this happen?

“We had nothing to lose.” We came out to prove, to fight for every ball. In the second half, everything seemed to work out, not like in the first. This is a big difference. We could have evened the score.

— Was there any special mood for Spartak?

– No. We have the same approach to each opponent with a fighting spirit. It doesn’t matter where you are in the table.

— The first half was left to Spartak. Did he present any surprises?

— Yes, there were some small surprises in terms of transferring from flank to flank. This is what they took. But this is also our mistake, because we prepared for the match, looked at the theory, and trained for a reason. Maybe there was a little surprise, but not much.

— Spartak did not have Sobolev in the starting lineup. Was it easier to defend without him?

– Not really. Misha Ignatov came out and gave an excellent game. I think he has definitely settled into the lineup. I won’t say that it was easier without Sasha. Eleven people took to the field and played good football.

— Promes was recognized as the best player of the match. Would you give the prize to Ignatov?

— I watched the first half from the bench. He only played half of the second half against Misha, but for me Ignatov deserves this prize.

— What did your team lack in the first half of the season? Why did they drop so low in the table?

– We must be higher. You always want this, just like winning in every match. We will draw conclusions about what did not work out and move on.

— Rostov scores very few points on the road. What is this connected with?

“It’s easier at home, that’s understandable.” Everyone talks about how we travel a lot. After all, you come to us once, and we visit you 15 times during the entire championship. It’s hard, but everyone has already come to terms with it,” Euro-Futbol.Ru quotes Mironov as saying.

Spartak is in 6th place in the table with 24 points. Rostov is in 11th place with 17 points.
