Spartak Moscow’s head coach Guillermo Abascal evaluated his team’s performance in the lost match against Rostov in the Winline Winter RPL Cup. His words guide the way “Match TV”.
We did not expect the opponent to defend with a low block. We didn’t move the ball well enough. We couldn’t create space, we needed more movement. We ourselves have made unforgivable mistakes for which we are punished. We couldn’t make good use of our chance.
You must understand that we are in the third week of our training camp. The team is under pressure. There is no freshness like before,” said the Spaniard.
The meeting took place in Adu Dhabi and ended with a landslide victory for Rostov with a score of 3:0. Evgeny Chernov, Nikolay Komlichenko and Kirill Shchetinin scored goals in the match.
On February 9, Spartak will play against Shabab Al-Ahli from the UAE, and on February 11, Rostov will play against Kairat from Kazakhstan.
Abaskal took over as head of Spartak before the start of the 2022/23 season. He extended his contract with the team with a salary increase as the season progressed. Last season, under his leadership, the red and white team came third in the Russian Championship.
