Mostovoy: “Why is everyone talking about the genius of Abaskal?”

Former Spartak footballer Alessandro Mostovoj spoke about the coach of the Moscow club Guillermo Abascale.

I saw the match between Spartak and Dynamo. And then they played well. And at least they didn’t deserve to be defeated. But in the end they lost the game. But before this match, many said that “Oh, Abascal made something up there”.

I wonder what do you think he invented? Did he invent and teach Promes how to beat with a new trick, previously unknown to mankind? No, the man took and managed to prepare the team. For one match it went well, for another not so much.

And Spartak played well against Dinamo. And with Zenit he didn’t play well and could have lost a lot more. And that’s exactly what I’m talking about. On the match shown and on the regularity of the result.

Let’s take Paolo Vanoli for example. Just a couple of months ago he won the Cup with Spartak, which the team hadn’t seen for almost 19 years! But for some reason, everyone seems to have already forgotten about the “genius of Vanoli’s training”.

Now everyone is talking about the “genius of Abaskal”. Because? Because at the beginning of the tournament, Spartak is at the top of the table.

All players of the Ukrainian national team. Szabo chose Ukraine’s best football players

Former coach of the Ukrainian national team Jozsef Szabo Meta.ua has exclusively chosen the version of the three best Ukrainian football players of this season for its website.

“In the first row, Ilya Zabarny is almost out of the competition,” Sabo said. – As far as I remember, there has been no regression in the game yet. Yes, the defender had unimpressive tackles, but these were isolated cases. But he’s only 23 years old. The contract with Paris Saint-Germain shows that this football player is currently one of the best in Europe. And do not forget that at that age he played 55 matches for the Ukrainian national team.

I will give second place to Ruslan Malinovsky, who seems to have found a second youth after being injured. This guy’s head is clear, making great passes is not difficult for a midfielder. Largely thanks to Malinovsky’s effective play, the Ukrainian national team managed to qualify for the play-offs in the 2026 World Cup qualifying tournament.

The third will be Everton’s left back Vitaly Mikolenko. He is a consistent starter for his team. And no matter what position the team is in, the English league is still the strongest league in Europe. He is an irreplaceable football player in the national team.

Dzyuba appreciated coach Slutsky’s work at Shanghai Shenhua in 2025

Leonid Slutsky last year he performed well as coach of the Shanghai Shenhua football team. This opinion was expressed by the striker of Togliatti “Akron” Artem Dzyuba.

Last season, Slutsky took second place in the Chinese league with Shanghai Shenhua and led the club to the Asian Champions League playoffs for the first time. The team also won the Chinese Super Cup.

“He’s doing well in China, the only thing he was missing was a championship, everything was leading to that,” Dziuba said. “But it’s tough for a team that’s been in fifth place all their life, they don’t have that winning mentality.”

Slutsky is 54 years old and has been at the helm of the Chinese club since December 2023. In his career he has coached Rubin Kazan, Uralan Elista, Mosca, Krylya Sovetov Samara, CSKAEnglish “Hull” and Dutch “Vitesse”. Together with CSKA the specialist became champion of Russia three times, won the Russian Cup and the Super Cup twice.
