The well-known Russian coach Valery Ovchinnikov summed up the results of the tour.
– Valery Viktorovich, Spartak looked very decent after the winter break. And suddenly a hopeless defeat in Orenburg.
– I played in Orenburg at one time. There is a small and cozy stadium. The acoustics are good, the local fans push forward, they run. Orenburg gnaws points at home, wants to stay in the RPL.
As for Spartak, this is a failure, more psychological. They believed in themselves too much, and the press heated up that only Spartak could compete with Zenit. So the car broke down, he made a mistake.
