Ternavskiy Describes Spartak's Championship Hopes Using Romantsev's Words

Former Spartak player, Vladislav Ternavskiy, provides an assessment of Spartak Moscow's chances of winning the title next season in the Russian League. Ternavskiy believes that Spartak has the ability to compete for the championship after their successful Cup victory. He noted that although they suffered a painful defeat against Dynamo Makhachkala, the team's game was very different from usual. "I didn't recognize Spartak at all. Before that match, they played with a different spirit. If they had won, they could have gotten a bronze medal. However, their performance in the Cup Superfinal against Krasnodar really satisfied me," said Ternavskiy in an interview with journalist from "Championat", Nikolai Baranov.

Ternavskiy also quoted Oleg Romantsev as saying, "A player is good if in 10 games, nine of which he plays well." He worries that modern players often perform well in one game, but disappear in the next two or three games. "When there is consistency, it is a very good indicator. Romantsev always emphasizes that in every match, we have to play to win," he added.
