Athletistic / Football. Dynamo coach Marcel Licka has confirmed that he asked Spartak striker Alexander Sobolev “not to kill us”.
The coach pointed out Sobolev’s good statistics in matches against Dynamo and jokingly asked him not to score in that match. Didn’t help.
“Yes, it’s true. Sobolev is an unpleasant striker, in a good way. He scored four goals against Dynamo, he fights, tries, saves balls well, but Dynamo also has intelligent strikers. Sobolev before the match in the Russian championship – we don’t need to score! (Smiles) But, unfortunately, he scored two goals, it’s his talent to look for free spaces and score goals at any time. Tyukavin!” said Lichka.
As part of the 23rd round of the RPL, Spartak defeated Dynamo away with a score of 2:1. At that time, Guillermo Abascal was still at the helm of the red and whites and Alexander Sobolev scored a double after two errors by Dynamo goalkeeper Igor Leshchuk.
