The first CSKA official rival in the Superleague is looking forward to meet Russian champion. Spartak-Primorje is going to make a great debut in the league. This was the reason for us to talk to the head coach of the team Andrey Kibenko.
What are the pluses and the minuses of the first game in the Superleague against CSKA?
- We would meet the strongest Russian team and it would help us to determine the ways to progress. It would help us to understand if we do everything right in choosing players, in our preparations. It is better to realize this kind of things at the start of the league. Another plus of CSKA visit is a chance for the whole Vladivostok city to see the game of one of the strongest European clubs. I guess it would truly be a celebration. And I am glad that our club would present this performance to the audience. As for minuses, I do not see them at all.
Would you make any changes in the preparations for the CSKA game in comparison with usual
- Sure. But we will make the exception not only for CSKA also for all the ‘big’ teams in Russia. We would have to be ready for the games mentally so we will try to focus on psychological side.
