Former coach of Ufa Alexey Stukalov YouTube channel “This is football, brother!” He talked about the possibility of Spartak striker Alexander Sobolev sitting on the bench due to the decision of the team coach Guillermo Abascal.
“Will sending Sobolev to the bench be Abascal’s sabotage against Russian players? Yes I think the same. Sobolev also looked good at the tournament in the UAE. My opinion is that he should play. But this is my opinion,” said Stukalov.
Sobolev has been playing for Spartak since 2020, transferred from Krylia Sovetov. This season, the striker played in 15 matches in the Russian Premier League (RPL), scoring three goals (one from a penalty) and five assists. He remained the team’s sole striker after sending Keith Balde and Shamar Nicholson on loan.
At a tournament held in the UAE this winter, Sobolev scored one goal in a match for Spartak.
Krasnodar, which lasted 18 weeks in the Russian Premier League (RPL), entered the winter break as the leader by collecting 38 points. Zenit is in second place with two points missing. Dinamo (32 points) completed the top three. Spartak is fifth (30 points).
