“Bongonda leaves a good impression at the start of the season” – Shavlo

Former general director of Spartak Sergei Shavlo noted the performance of the Moscow team’s midfielder Theo Bongonda at the start of this season.

Bongonda moved to Spartak from Cadiz in the summer. At the start of this season, he played in nine matches in all tournaments, in which he scored four goals and gave one assist.

— Not enough time has passed to evaluate Spartak’s transfer campaign. It takes time for the players to get used to the team. Bongonda immediately showed himself. Some will show themselves a little later. There are problem players who just can’t get used to it. This is a problem not only for Spartak, but also for many teams that take players, but it is unknown how they will behave.

It happens that players come with a name and just can’t get used to the team. Some people think that one player should be in Spartak, the other should not. These people need to understand that Spartak cannot buy players with the money that Zenit spends. The “red-whites” have a budget. Yes, this year more players were bought than in previous seasons, but Spartak will not buy players for 20-30 million euros. The fans want it, but not all football players go to Russia, they are afraid. They come mainly from Serbia, South America or Africa.

— Who do you like among the new Spartak players?

— Good impression from Bongond, he proved himself. Ryabchuk played in Greece, not the latest football country. He spent little time, but Oleg is a fast player, disciplined,” RB Sport quotes Shavlo as saying.
