The Russia boss has experience of overcoming Spanish opposition and is hoping for a repeat on Sunday when the hosts meet La Roja in the last 16
Russia boss Stanislav Cherchesov will look to be a "God" on Sunday and inflict more misery on Fernando Hierro and Spain.
Cherchesov was in goal when Spartak Moscow dumped a Real Madrid side containing a young Hierro out of the Champions League in 1991, 3-1 on aggregate.
The pair will be in rival dugouts when the World Cup hosts take on Spain in the last 16 in Moscow and Cherchesov is hoping for a repeat outcome.
