Spartak defender Pavel Maslov noted that the “red and white” players were saddened by the departure Georges Dzhikia of the club.
“Spartacus” announced on Saturday Jikia’s departure from the club when his contract expires at the end of the season. On Sunday, Jikia led the team as captain in the match of the 29th round of MIR RPL against Rubin (3:1) and was replaced in the second half.
— There was a farewell match for Dzhikia. How did the team evict Georgiy?
– Hot. We gave him a standing ovation on the field. But in any case, it’s a sad moment, because Georgiy is a club legend. We are saddened by his passing.
— What happened in the locker room after the match? Maybe they said kind words?
— We will still have a farewell dinner. Let’s all come together. And in the locker room we applauded each other and said thank you, because Jikia is an important milestone in the history of Spartak. There’s no other way to say it.
– How did you know he was leaving?
— We were in the physical training room. He gathered us together and told us that such a decision had been made. He said that he wanted us to be the first to know about this, before this information was leaked somewhere in the media,” Maslov said, as quoted by Euro-Futbol.Ru.
Dzhikia left Amkar for Spartak in December 2016. Since then, he has made 215 appearances and scored five goals. As part of the Moscow team, the 30-year-old footballer won the Russian Championship, Cup and Super Cup of the country.
Spartak is in fifth place in the league standings with 49 points. In the final round, the “Reds and Whites” will play against Orenburg on May 25.
