I congratulate Spartak on advancing to the next stage and wish them success in the future.
We always try to concentrate on all matches, I do not see this as an advantage. We will continue to play at full strength in the cup and try to correct the situation in the Russian Championship rankings. I focus only on working with Orenburg, all my thoughts are only with my team. I will not interfere with the work of my colleagues, I will always wish them the best,” Deogracia said.
