“Spartak seemed to have the territory in this match, most of the time, and the ball. But I didn’t gain any spirit or benefit from it. The head coach’s decision to implement such a lineup seems a bit strange, because before that Ugalde always played at the forefront of the attack with two wingers under him – Medina, Bongonda… I don’t know why Stankovic decided to change the team. training – perhaps there are a few reasons for this.
After all, he sees Nicholson, who played spearhead, every day in training – maybe he’s fine. And it made him such a distinctive striker. But because of this, the whole game suffered – it seemed to me that the Spartak players were not ready for such a project, for such an arrangement. Ugalde didn’t feel like he belonged, Barco didn’t look like him.
— But was Loko good in this match too?
— Yes, we must pay tribute to the railway workers. And let’s congratulate the fans – not just Lokomotiv, but Russian fans in general. Because we have a team ready to compete with Zenit and Krasnodar, and where mainly Russian footballers play. This makes me very happy. The guys are playing, promising, young. It’s a shame that the Russian national team is not currently participating in official competitions – we would have a very interesting team,” Kechinov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
Lokomotiv is second in the Russian Championship standings with 24 points. Spartak (16) is sixth.
