Famous Soviet and Russian football player Valery Masalitin, who played for Spartak Moscow throughout his career, told socialbites.ca that the red-whites now lack stability for a successful game.
“Naturally, players are uncomfortable with the constant change of roster. You need simulated connections when you know where your partner opens, where he runs, how everything works in a particular situation … You can run with your eyes closed and know what to give you. It is necessary to stabilize the composition. As such, one, at most, two positions can change. Due to injury or when someone has an economic recession. Then there is no shyness. And in Spartak everything changes with every game in the support zone, everything changes in the back – it’s hard. Also, goalkeepers still play unreliable. The anxiety of everyone, especially the defenders and defensive midfielders, stems from this. And it’s clear there’s Promes ahead. But he also has questions. In the match against Dynamo, Zinkovsky showed himself very well. Maybe Abascal will trust him now and Promes will shake him up, reconsider his stance and play at the same level. Look at the same “Zenith”! What happened to the game when his men left?! Only Wendel came back – he fixed it right away, ”Masalitin stressed.
Spartak started the season with five wins in a row for the first time in its history, winning three championship games and two Cup games, but then failing to win the RPL three times in a row. After the losses to Ural and Zenit, Akhmat drew goalless. The series was interrupted by the cup match played against Dynamo Moscow, which the red-whites won with a score of 4:1.
