Prominent Russian coach Oleg Romantsev believes that currently Spartak coach Guillermo Abascal is facing the problem of overkill on offense.
“As for Abascal’s current problem, he already has players who have earned their place on offense. This is, of course, Promes, Sobolev, Nicholson. What about the rest?”
There is an option where one of the attackers will be moved to the midline. Just like Balde and Ignatov. But that’s not the way out. And then the question of sending one of the players on loan to stay at the club may arise, according to Sport Express.
Abascal managed Spartak before the start of the season. Before Russia, the specialist worked in the Greek Volos and the Swiss Basel. He recently extended his contract with the team amid a wage rise.
After the 17th round of the Russian Premier League, Zenit remains in the lead. Spartak sits in second place with 36 points, with Sergei Semak’s squad six points ahead of the red and white. The top three are completed by Rostov under Valery Karpin. Spartak’s deficit stands at one point.
The red and whites eliminated Lokomotiv from the Russian Cup in their latest match.
Previously, Krasnodar beat CSKA in the 1/4 final of the Russian Cup, but the team still exited the competition on the regional route of the event.
