Valery Nepomnyashchiy, the former head coach of the Cameroon and Uzbekistan national teams, believes that Spartak should stop playing full-time with some clubs in the Russian Premier League (RPL).
“We have to accept the fact that today another combat unit has appeared – this is the Ural, which plays good and quality football. He played below Spartak levels. He was confused when it seemed that they were the favorite, and then why does not “Ural” give up? Especially in Moscow. This is a good lesson for the Red and Whites. They need to understand that in RPL there are no sticks that you can play with full foot. We must try in every match,” Nepomniachtchi quotes “European football”.
In the last round, Guillermo Abascal’s team drew 2:2 with Ural and won twice during the meeting.
After 18 weeks in the RPL, Spartak is in second place with 37 points. After the blue-whites’ victory against Paris Nizhny Novgorod, the red-whites’ backlog in Zenit increased to eight points. Third place is Rostov. Valery Karpin’s team has 35 points.
In the next round, the red-whites will play Fakel.
