Former "Spartak" player Mienti Abena recalled the 2:1 victory at home against "Zenit" in the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He described that match as a turning point for the team. According to Abena, all the players thought they were ready for the championship at that time.
However, the subsequent events served as an important lesson for them, although he humorously noted it was not for him. The defender emphasized that after such victories, the team must stay grounded and continue to work hard.
Unfortunately, some things changed later. At the end of the season, "Spartak" finished in fourth place in the Russian championship, two points behind the leaders of the competition.
The new Premier League season will begin with a match at home against "Dinamo" from Makhachkala, led by Dejan Stankovich. This game will be the team's first test of the new season.
Difficult and responsible games await the team ahead. Therefore, every victory is of great importance.
