Former Moscow coach Spartak Valery Gladilin did not describe the goal line of the red-whites as weak after the mistake made by the team’s goalkeeper Alexander Maksimenko in the match against “Rostov” within the scope of the Winline Winter RPL Cup. He shared his opinion with him “Euro-Football.Ru”.
“I don’t think this position in the team can be called weak. The coach is just “swimming” now. He doesn’t know what to do. Almost 22 people played today and Abascal doesn’t know who his main players are.
I can’t imagine what tactic he’ll use. There are difficulties and it is time to decide on the composition to be played. The first match will be played against Zenit and if Spartak is to compete for a medal, they must play with dignity. And St. Petersburg residents are now in good shape,” Gladilin said.
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.
Previously Abascal explained Rostov’s defeat.
