Ural midfielder Andrey Egorychev admitted that the team did not intend to lose to Spartak in the head-to-head match of the tour. Transmits words “Sport Express”.
“I did not pay attention to the facial expressions of Spartak players. I don’t care about them and these provocations. It is important to control your emotions. Missing the second ball was more offensive. Sobolev did not take a hit, the rebound helped and the ball went in the opposite direction of Pomazun. It still looked like a foul against Begić, who didn’t get in the way of the second goal. It’s frustrating to get this, we’ve had moments to stand out before. But the team was not going to lose,” Yegorychev said.
