“For Spartak, he is an excellent reinforcement in every sense of the word. Ilyukha is a rock. He will help the team both as a player and in terms of psychology. The team needed a guy with such experience, especially in case of injuries.

As for its condition, at least from the outside it looks good. Again, he has such experience that there should be no problems joining the team,” Kojevnikov is quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
