Spartak is doing the right thing by strengthening the defense, but defenders Alexis Duarte and Tomas Tavares are pigs in a poke, according to former Russian national team defender Vladimir Granat.
The contract of 21-year-old Tavares runs until 2026 with the option of extending for a year. The Portuguese last season played for Basel on loan. In the 2022/23 season, the defender did not play a single match for Benfica due to a serious injury. The contract with 22-year-old Duarte runs until 2027. In September 2021, Duarte was called up to the Paraguay national team. At home, he played for Cerro Porteño.
– Spartak is doing the right thing, strengthening the defense. Not only the center, but also the flanks. The Red-Whites really have problems, this is no secret to anyone. But it is important to note that no one knows these players. I saw their names for the first time yesterday when the transfer news came out. These names mean nothing. We can say that Duarte and Tavares are pigs in a poke. Let’s see how things turn out for them, – Garnet said to the “Championship”.
The 2022/23 season in Russia will resume with FONBET Russian Cup matches on February 22. The WORLD RPL season will continue on March 3. Watch broadcasts of RPL and Russian Cup matches on the Match TV federal channel, as well as on the thematic channels of the holding and on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.

Thomas Astudillo is a sports journalist and author who writes for Sportish. He has a deep love and knowledge of sports, and is known for his engaging and informative writing on the latest sports news and events.
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.

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.
