Head coach of Spartak Dejan Stanković On , he said that his team is ready for the FONBET Russian Cup match against Rostov, noting that the red-white players have already achieved victory against CSKA in the past.
The first match of the RPL Way quarterfinals between Spartak and Rostov will take place in Moscow and will start at 6:30 p.m. Moscow time. On November 2, Stankovic’s team defeated CSKA away with a score of 2:0 in the match of the 14th day of the RPL.
— How did you manage the workload after the recent match against CSKA?
— What sets great teams apart is the ability to change gears immediately after a game. It doesn’t matter how it ended – with a positive or negative result. A great team should be able to control their emotions and forget about this game immediately. The season is long, there are a lot of matches, you have to be ready for each of them. Today is a cup match, it is very important for us. I’m sure the guys understand that very well.
— On Saturday you played against CSKA, Rostov has a slight advantage in terms of rest time. There are few changes in the composition. Are there fears the team won’t survive?
– Yes, it exists, but when the players enter the field, they forget how many days of preparation and rest there were. Each match is a separate story with its own values. I think today the guys are going to step on the field and forget how many days there were between games.
— If a team loses, it is not eliminated from the Cup. How does this affect the fact that there is always room for error?
— There are two 90-minute halves to come. We will have to distribute everything correctly. I like Rostov and the way Karpin coaches. A two-game showdown awaits us. I think we will be ready,” Stankovic said on .
