Nikitin: Spartak needs a leading Russian football player

Former Podmoskovye “Khimki” footballer Aleksey Nikitin shared his thoughts on what type of player is currently lacking in the capital’s “Spartak” team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, the “Spartak” team needs a Russian footballer who can be a leader on the field. At present, they do not have such a leader in their squad.

Nikitin spoke about this during a broadcast on the “Match TV” channel. In the latest match, the “red and white” team hosted Saint Petersburg’s “Zenit” team.

The game ended in a 2:2 draw. After the fifth round of the RPL, the team led by Deyan Stankovich has collected 5 points and is in 13th place in the competition table.

In the next, sixth round, the “people’s team” will play away against Kazan’s “Rubin” team. This match is considered one of the team’s next important tests of the season.
