Maxim Demenko, the well known Russian footballer who spent years with Zenit, Spartak, and Krasnodar and earned two caps for the national team, shared his thoughts on Quincy Promes after Spartak Moscow defeated Lokomotiv 4-2 in the Russian Cup return match. Demenko noted that Promes looked like a different player from the first meeting, showing sharp movement, precise decision making, and a level of fitness that made the team’s rhythm look seamless on the night.
In an interview with a SocialBites correspondent, Demenko said Promes has clearly put in strong individual work during the preseason and is now ready to contribute meaningfully to the squad. He emphasized that Promes’s leadership within Spartak helps him guide teammates and that the trust from the coach plays a crucial role in his performance. This combination of personal form and responsibility on the field, according to Demenko, positions Promes to be a real asset for the side as the season progresses.
Promes contributed one goal from the penalty spot and delivered another assist in the win over Lokomotiv, in addition to providing an assist in the earlier phase of the match. However, there was one more penalty opportunity that did not convert, reflecting the pressure and pace of the cup clash rather than a lapse in technique. The evening underscored Promes’s capacity to influence games through creative play and set-piece execution at high stakes levels.
Separately, Anzor Kavazashvili, a former Spartak Moscow goalkeeper, discussed Artem Dziuba’s prospects with the Russian national team, offering observations on his development and potential role in future call-ups. The dialogue around Promes and Dziuba highlights ongoing conversations about leadership, form, and how individual moments can shape national team consideration and club strategy alike, especially in a campaign that mixes domestic cups with league commitments and European ambitions.
