Former Spartak striker and Russian national team Dmitry Sychev spoke about the media activity of the red and whites. He noted that with the change of leadership of Muscovites around the club, much less scandals appeared in the media. At the same time, Sychev, former chairman of the board of Spartak Leonid Fedun admitted that he missed the loud statements of the wife of Zarema Salikhova.
“This, of course, is a positive change, because the informational background around Spartak was exciting and hysterical, which, it seems to me, also distracted the players. They can not be in the information gap, they read and watch everything. And comments and controversial statements left and when you go to the right, that can’t distract. Anything that negatively affects a player is wrong. It’s clear that they have to think about it and filter it out. But now really that background has faded, people are doing their job. The more talk, the less action. And people calmly maximum effect is achieved when they work.
But honestly, I miss Zarema Ravilievna, her sparkling expressions, her thoughts, her reasoning – sometimes borderline, sometimes controversial, but rational grain was usually present there, although many did not like it. With his departure, “Spartak” has become somewhat “insipid” in terms of the media, so to speak, Sychev told socialbites.ca.
Fedun was the head of Spartak from 2004 to 2022. Under his management, the club has several times won the Russian championship, the Cup and the Super Cup.
