Yuri Lebedev hopes Spartak Nalchik start winning in order to stay in the Russian Premier League
Spartak Nalchik defender, Yuri Lebedev, has advised his teammates to start winning if they want to play in the Russian Premier League next season. The Orly are currently flirting with relegation after winning just two matches in their league campaign so
far.
Yuri Lebedev believes that the White-Reds can only avoid relegation if they start winning in the second half of the championship.
“We have one task - to stay in the Premier League. We must win every match, score as many points and we want to get rid of the danger zone as quickly as possible. Moreover, I want to rise above 13th place in order to avoid transient matches.” Lebedev was
quoted as saying.
Zenit St. Petersburg will be hosting Spartak in their upcoming league fixture and the graduate of the St. Petersburg academy admitted that it will be a very tough game away from home.
“Of course, you do want to play at Petrovsky. Moreover, it is a dream to win there. For me, it will be the first game against Petrograd.” The 24-year-old concluded.
The Russian national was not a part of the team that went on to stun Zenit by scoring a late equaliser at Spartak Stadium earlier this season. But a draw doesn’t seem to be going too well with the stopper, who wants to see his team get three points at Petrovsky.
Lebedev admitted that the Orly are facing a very tough schedule ahead against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Tom-Tomsk-c39228, Spartak Moscow derby, Rubin Kazan and Dynamo Moscow. The defender urged his teammates to win the upcoming matches.
