Famous former domestic football player Maxim Demenko, who also played for Moscow Spartak during his professional career, commented to socialbites.ca and praised the play of the red-whites in the RPL Winline Winter Cup held in Abu Dhabi these days. . According to the expert, Guillermo Abascal’s team was not ready for the Rostov match and Shabab Al-Ahli, defeated in the second round, was far behind in class.
“We saw the first match – Spartak was generally unsuccessful. And although the first 20 minutes were a completely equal game, “Rostov” showed itself well, and “Spartak” controlled it even more. Of course, there were moments. It is clear that the team started pre-season training camp later than everyone else, but this is a tournament and we need to prepare for it somehow. In the second match, the opponent was much weaker and in this case, Spartak was of course a little faster, their movements and team movements were better. But the level cannot be compared with the same Rostov.”
In the first match of the tournament, Spartak suffered a heavy defeat to Rostov – 0:3. In the second match, the red and whites scored 5 unanswered goals against Shabab Al-Ahly. Abaskal’s team will play their next match against Kairat from Kazakhstan.
