Parfyonov Reflects on Spartaks Heavy Defeat to Baltika: You Cant Just Give Up

Former Spartak Moscow footballer Dmitry Parfyonov commented on the heavy defeat of the red-and-whites against Baltika (0-3) in the second round of the RPL.

«Of course, any red card alters the game plan. However, you can’t just throw in the towel and stop playing. You can’t let one dismissal derail everything. It’s certainly frustrating, but that’s football. There are 22 players on the field and five more on the bench—there are countless factors at play. You need to be prepared for these challenges; you can’t crack under pressure. If you have ambitious goals, how else can you approach it?» Parfyonov said in an interview with Championship correspondent Ilya Nikulnikov.
