“I do not want to name the names of young Spartak footballers who have the necessary qualities to become the future captain of the club. This can lead them to view themselves as already accomplished players and great players. However, we have young athletes with notable leadership qualities. Now it is important to determine who will become the new captain of Spartak. Young players will still have time to prove themselves.
Of course, Jikia will not be easy to replace in this role. He was an important figure both on the pitch and in the locker room. It will be difficult, but life goes on,” Sliskovich said in an interview with a correspondent of “Championship”.
