Anton Zabolotniy, the forward of Moscow's "Spartak" team, shared his thoughts on the journey to Rostov-on-Don ahead of the match against the "red-whites" led by Jonathan Alba, within the framework of the Russian Cup group stage. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The airport in Rostov has been closed for three years, so teams are forced to reach the city by train or bus from nearby airfields. Recently, train services have been disrupted in the Rostov region due to issues with the contact network.
The player emphasized to the press service of the "Spartak" club that this situation has created significant difficulties for the teams. The match between "Rostov" and "Spartak" will take place on July 30.
The meeting will start at 20:45 local Moscow time. Additionally, in the second round match against Kaliningrad's "Baltika," Zabolotniy received a direct red card.
This penalty led to the player's expulsion from the field and affected the team's situation in the game. Despite the difficulties in preparation and travel, the "Spartak" team is striving to achieve its goals.
