The central defender of the Kaliningrad club "Baltika," Natan Gassama, compared the performances of the current season with the successes of the 2015-2016 "Leicester" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
At that time, although the English team had come up from lower leagues, they achieved an unexpected victory in the national championship. Now "Baltika" has accumulated 4 points after the first two rounds of the Russian championship and is in a high position.
Gassama said, "We can be the new 'Leicester,' but we have only played two games so it's too early to talk about that." In the first round, "Baltika" drew with Moscow's "Dinamo," and in the second round, they defeated "Spartak" with a score of 3:0.
In this match, "Spartak" players were sent off the field twice.
