The former CEO of "Spartak," Yuri Pervak, commented on Spartak's victory over Lokomotiv in the 16th round of the RPL (5:2).
— Spartak defeated Lokomotiv with a score of 5:2. Was this the best match for the red-whites under Stankovich?
— I think so. But football is played by two teams. If Spartak had their best day, then Lokomotiv must have had their worst. Maybe there's a trend here. I noticed that after national team matches, Lokomotiv has struggled for the second time.
— We criticized Stankovich for his decisions after the first round match between Lokomotiv and Spartak.
— To be fair, it seems that Stankovich has changed his approach. He returned to the old system that works. This is the right decision. The quality of Spartak's players is definitely among the top three or five. They should play with this lineup — that’s all. Stankovich came to a team called "Spartak." If he is below the level as a coach, then he needs to grow quickly. If he is above the level, then he must maintain that level, — said Pervak to RB Sport.
