Famous Russian commentator Viktor Gusev shared his thoughts about Spartak Moscow’s new player Manfred Ugalde and pointed out that the competition among the team’s offensive players is high. His words guide the way “Euro-Football.Ru”.
“We will see what will happen in the championship. Moreover, Spartak has a lot of rivals in this offensive line. [Квинси] Promes and [Александру] Sobolev tries to sort things out between themselves, and then another man appears. Complicated. But the man is good. In general, the players we have are not superstars, but they are on their way to becoming stars,” Gusev said.
Ugalde moved to Spartak in January 2024 for €13 million + €2 million bonus. The striker made his debut for the red-whites in the Rostov match. The Costa Rican scored a goal in the friendly match against Shabab Al-Ahly. The striker, who played 25 matches in all competitions for Twente this season, recorded 9 goals and 7 assists in these matches.
In the summer of 2023, Spartak loaned two forwards Keith Balde and Shamar Nicholson. For most of the season Alexander Sobolev remained the main striker.
