Spartak Moscow Boss Under Fire After Krasnodar Defeat

Alexander Mostovoy, the former Russian national team midfielder, weighed in on Spartak Moscow’s recent performance under Guillermo Abascal after the team’s 0-2 defeat to Krasnodar in the Russian Premier League. Speaking candidly, Mostovoy suggested that the Spaniard, who had not previously played at the highest level in Russia, faced a tough task managing a squad with substantial depth. He pointed out that despite a long bench and a selection of capable players, Abascal looked uncertain about which lineup to field. This hesitation, according to Mostovoy, translated into a disjointed and cautious display against Krasnodar, leaving fans with many questions about the team’s tactical plan and on-field decision making. He highlighted the absence of a clear plan and the difficulty in identifying the best combination for the squad, noting that the game did not reveal a confident approach from Spartak.
