Former Spartak footballer Valery Gladilin shared his expectations from the 8th round match RPL against Zenit.
There will be an even match, I think. “Spartak” is now in good condition, “Zenith” – too. The match is unpredictable. Of course, Zenit has more possibilities: they have a set game, there are the Brazilians who set the time on the pitch. At Spartak, the game is only on stage. But the motivation of the “red-white” – the maximum. The stadium will be full, Spartak will do everything to win. But predicting the outcome is very difficult.
Lost to Zenit in the Super Bowl? This match no longer matters. There will be a new one, very difficult. Both teams are in the lead. The factor of its walls can play a role. Spartak fans will lead the team forward. And on the pitch, everything will depend on functional status and tactics. “Zenith” has in the composition of high-level masters. Their game is more mature than that of Spartak. It seems to me that the red and white don’t have to play adventurously. If Spartak plays like this, the score can be anything.
