Former football player of the USSR national team, former general manager of Spartak Sergey Shavlo spoke critically about the new Cup of Russia RBC Sports.
For the first time this season, Amkal and 2DROTS media teams take part in the Russian Cup. Both clubs started from the 1/256 final stage of the Russian Cup and went further – Amkal defeated Zorkiy in a penalty shootout, and 2DROTS defeated Chertanovo with a score of 3:0.
“For me, this format is somehow confusing. My opinion is that amateur clubs should absolutely not participate. Maybe the money was given by these teams that just arrived. The trophy and its draw turned into a kind of funny story, a comedy. Group B is the strongest. But we must remember that the trophy is always a surprise,” said Shavlo.
RPL club groups look like this:
Group A: Krasnodar, Lokomotiv, Pari Nizhny Novgorod, Khimki.
Group B: Zenit, Krylya Sovetov, Spartak, Fakel.
Group C: Dynamo, Akhmat, Rostov, Orenburg.
Group D: Sochi, CSKA, Ural, Torpedo.
