Well, decide for yourselves what kind of opponents our clubs have gotten...
In my opinion, the competition will be fierce, but all three teams must advance to the playoff stage...:smile02:
And one more thing: I am very glad that our clubs did not become rivals with each other... That would have been a pity..
So we have every chance... As they say, everything is in our hands and feet :):smile02:
Let's closely follow the fate of our teams and support them, whether at home or at the stadium, but we must support our clubs!!:smile12: :smile01:

I wish Lokomotiv, Zenit and Spartak to get out of the group and please us with victories and beautiful games. FORWARD RUSSIA!!!!!!!:smile49:
