Following their exit from the Russian Cup, Krylia Sovetov redirected its attention toward delivering strong results in the Russian Premier League. The plan was conveyed to Legalbetting by Samara midfielder Benjamin Garre, who explained that the club would now focus on the league, streamlining preparation and sharpening the team’s consistency. The Cup defeat served as a turning point, with the squad intent on translating training ground work into tangible league performances while keeping a clear eye on improving every game.
“The only thing we can do now is to keep working. All our attention will now be focused on the Premier League.” Garre stressed that the group would stay on task, commit to disciplined daily routines, and push for steady progress in the league as the season unfolds.
Garre acknowledged that the reasons behind Krylia’s slower start were not fully clear, but he saw signs of movement in the right direction. The team has been slowly building confidence in the championship, and the recent showing against Rubin gave a sense that their form was turning a corner. “We’ll continue to improve our game and our results,” the midfielder said, describing a plan that emphasizes better balance between defense, transitions, and the attack as the campaign advances.
On Thursday, September 19, Krylia Sovetov suffered a 1:4 defeat to Spartak Moscow in the fourth round of the group stage of the Russian Cup RPL Path. The loss ended Krylia’s chance to advance to the next round of the tournament, a setback Garre framed as a reminder that the team had not reached its best level against the Red-Whites and needed to regroup quickly.
Eight rounds into the current RPL season, Krylia Sovetov sits in tenth place with nine points. The next test is a clash with Akhmat Grozny. The match is scheduled to be played in Grozny on Monday, September 23, with a kickoff at 18:30 Moscow time, a fixture that could prove pivotal for the Wings as they push to climb the table.
Earlier reports connected Spartak’s Abena with talk of rising to a high level in the Russian Premier League, a note that adds another layer to the ongoing discussions about the league’s talents and trajectory.
