According to former Moscow "Spartak" player Valery Gladilin, a defeat in the fifth round of the Russian Championship against "Zenit" would not be a major disaster for the "red-whites" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He emphasized that in many positions, "Spartak" is weaker than "Zenit." The team is facing problems in terms of gameplay and is undergoing significant rotation.
"Zenit" is a very ambitious opponent. Therefore, losing to "Zenit" is not considered a big problem, says Gladilin.
It should be noted that the "Spartak" and "Zenit" teams will face each other on Saturday, August 16, in Moscow as part of the fifth round of the Russian Championship. Currently, both clubs have accumulated only four points over four rounds and are positioned in the middle of the Russian Premier League standings.
This match is important for the teams as it provides an opportunity to improve their performance during the season. Additionally, the current condition and playing style of the teams are being closely followed by fans.
