The head coach of Spartak Guillermo Abascal said that during the match with Lokomotiv he tore his pants and had to change them.
On Sunday, Spartak beat Lokomotiv in the home match of the 10th round of the WORLD RPL with a score of 1:0.
– When you come on as a substitute, you have to break it. Especially when your partners are giving 200%. I can’t be calm, even my pants were torn in the first half – I had to go to the room under the stands and change them, ”Abaskal said at a press conference, speaking about the episode when he shouted at Alexander Sobolev.
Speaking about the game, the Spanish specialist noted that the team missed a lot of dangerous moments at the gates of others.
– The first half would have been even more perfect if we had converted the chances we had. Should be mad at ourselves, we had four great moments. I am pleased with how the guys reacted to the match, with what attitude they went to the game. We understood that Lokomotiv could play high, almost in the middle of the field, and Shamar Nicholson could use this space. We will work on the implementation.
Lokomotiv played two central midfielders. We used the emerging space thanks to Nicholson and Nail Umyarov. We understood that if we put pressure on their goalkeeper, he often plays a long ball, makes throws. It was important to win rebounds, fight for the ball. It was one of the key moments of the match,” said Abascal, quoted by Match TV.
“Spartak” after ten rounds scored 19 points and is fifth in the standings.
