Russian coach Gadji Gadjiev reacted to the announcement of the departure of defender Georgy Dzhikia from Spartak at the end of the season.
On Saturday, Spartak announced the departure of Dzhikia, 30, at the end of his contract at the end of the season.
—Whether it was a mistake or not is a difficult question. It depends on whose initiative he leaves the club. Maybe it’s his decision, we don’t know. Secondly, this is a normal process for any club. There is a small percentage of players, for example Akinfeev, who stay at their club until the end, but some leave. A new management has come to Spartak, I don’t know if they look at the history of the team, maybe they are not interested. Or maybe they’re thinking about it, but don’t think this player has any value to them.
The only thing I can say is that Dzhikia is a worthy person and a good footballer who has done a lot for Spartak. At least this season, the only one in the last 20 years, where Spartak won the championship, Jikia helped them.
— Didn’t it affect you to have spent a year on the bench? Perhaps it would be more honest to let go?
– Yes of course. But there are many such examples. Most likely, there was a misunderstanding between the head coach and the player. In the end, it turned out that the head coach is not of the level that can dictate his conditions. “Spartak” with Abascal is nothing. We cannot say that he gave something to Spartak, he could not raise the team, he could not keep it at the level. Therefore, his actions regarding individual players are also a critical page.
— Will Jikia stay in the RPL?
– I think there are no problems. He will certainly be able to help Dynamo Makhachkala.
— If you enter the RPL, can you consider this option?
— It’s still early, we have two serious matches ahead of us. We don’t have two central defenders who have been on the pitch almost all season. Maybe they won’t be there not only today, but also in the last game of the season. So the situation is getting complicated,” Gadjiev quotes Metaratings.ru.
Dzhikia left Amkar for Spartak in December 2016. Since then, he has made 214 appearances and scored five goals. As part of the Moscow team, the footballer won the Russian Championship, Cup and Super Cup of the country.
On May 19, Spartak will host Rubin in the 29th round match of the WORLD RPL. Watch the live broadcast of the match on Sunday from 2:05 p.m. (Moscow time) on the MATCH PREMIER channel, matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
