A retro match between Spartak and Real Madrid in memory of Ilya Tsymbalar can take place at Otkritie Bank Arena.
Oleg Tsymbalar said that negotiations are currently underway between representatives of Spartak and Real Madrid.
They said that we are currently negotiating a retro match; a representative of the Real Madrid Foundation is currently present at the tournament. Work is underway, a letter has already been sent with the desired lineups close to the 1998 [match]. As soon as we receive an answer, we will make official statements and begin work in this direction.
The lineups are about the same as in 1998-if you take Real, then it`s Roberto Carlos, [Clarence] Seedorf, [Predrag] Mijatovic, [Fernando] Hierro. Spartak also has a roster close to 1998.
In any case, we are planning to hold it at Otkritie Bank Arena, because this is Spartak`s home - I think it would be stupid to hold it somewhere else at another stadium. But I repeat that so far we have not made official requests for this match, preparatory work is underway.
It would be nice to hold a match from belarus ranking at Otkritie Bank Arena in the off-season, so as not to interfere with the first team, so that everyone would be comfortable. We sent a request to the Real Fund for Eastern Europe at the end of December, they also had holidays. As soon as they become active, let`s hope.
The only way I can see to pay him such a tribute is to restore the match, because 90% of the fans will say that Tsymbalar is Spartak - Real Madrid in 1998. We have been nurturing this idea since 2014, but somehow it just didn`t work out.
Now, of course, not everything is so calm. But there are no political overtones on our site, only sports, to pay tribute to the memory of a person who is known to both sides, " said the son of Ilya Tsymbalar.
