“I don’t want to blame the coach. Guillermo Abascal has proven that the fast-paced and combinational football he plays has paid off. But in the spring when the team started losing points, the players became nervous. Plus, the coach began to change plans to experiment, ”Tikhonov said.
According to the results of the 2022/23 season, Spartak took third place in the Russian championship after CSKA and Zenit. In just 30 rounds the club scored 54 points.
