“»Spartak does not have leading central forwards, but we also have pairs There were no leading players who make a big contribution to our victories. We played away, and Spartak has a good team, they have fast players who are fighting for a place in the lineup. They have enough players who can resist Avangard. It is not true that Avangard is a team without weaknesses. There are no such teams at all. We need to work on the game in the second period, in which we play difficult. This is the main point that we need to work on. The start of the match in our performance in most cases can also be better,” added the Avangard coach.
