Dejan Stankovic: “I like football in Spartak weather”

Spartak head coach Dejan Stankovic said that he likes playing in the rain and also noted that his players should not give up on the field.

The first round match of the group stage of the RPL FONBET Russian Cup Path Spartak – Dynamo, which took place on Wednesday, ended with a victory for the red-whites – 3:0.

— I look at the work of my players. All the guys give their all, but I have to make a choice. I am happy that all my players are ready to play. It is not so important who starts the match. It is important who finishes it. We are only at the beginning of the journey. I believe in every player who is on my team

I have been told a lot about Spartak’s history, including that drizzle is Spartak weather. I like football in such weather. But also our principles – to fight, not to give up and to struggle. It is in our DNA.

– When will Shamar Nicholson be ready? What shape is he in?

“I understand perfectly well that you are interested in many questions, but we are talking about the match here. Shamar is disqualified and has also had 4-5 training sessions. I honestly don’t know when we will see him on the field,” the Match TV correspondent quotes Stankovic as saying.
