Athletistic/Football. Famous sports journalist and commentator Konstantin Genich spoke about the departure of Georgy Dzhikia from Spartak.

“For me personally, it’s painful, although I understand that seven and a half years at a club is a long time. Jikia has all the necessary qualities: human, leadership, team.

Many note that it has given up in terms of gameplay and is losing the competition. It’s not surprising when you realize they no longer count on you. They start using you to close positions, not as a key player. Footballers with good mental organization perceive it with great sensitivity. It seems to me that he just wasn’t ready for it, and it embarrassed him a little. There were mistakes; we cannot say that he gave up suddenly. Maybe extra weight or loss of speed got in the way. But 30 is not an age for a central defender. They say his cycle in the team is over,” Genich said on the championship podcast “Injustice Premier League”.

  • Dzhikia answered who he considers to be the next captain of Spartak
