Defender “Spartacus” Nikita Chernov appointed “Orenburg” a good opponent in the quarterfinals of the RPL FONBET Cup of Russia, and also noted that the team David Deogracia knows how to play to get results in his home stadium with artificial turf.
The draw for the Russian Cup qualifiers took place on Friday. Spartak will play with Orenburg in the quarterfinals of the RPL Path, CSKA will play with Rostov, Lokomotiv will play with Baltika, and Zenit will play with Dynamo Moscow. The first matches of this stage will take place from November 28 to 30, 2023, the return matches from March 12 to 14, 2024. Spartak will play its first match away.
— I think Orenburg is a good opponent. At this stage, there are no more weak teams. They showed that they can play football well. Especially at home, on artificial pitch, they lose few points, we have a very difficult match ahead of us. If we act as we know how, the result will be good.
— A series of trips awaits us, what do you think?
– This is how the schedule is established, this is our job. What difference does it make wherever you go? You just have to score the maximum points. “Krasnodar” and “Rostov” take buses and trains every week. I think it’s much more difficult for them than for us. We have all the conditions, so you shouldn’t pay attention to them,” Chernov said in a video posted on Spartak’s YouTube channel.
