“If Spartak wins against CSKA, then everyone will start carrying Abascal in their arms” – Dyakov

Former Rostov footballer Vitaly Dyakov did not rule out that the position of Spartak head coach Guillermo Abascal in the club may directly depend on the result of the upcoming Russian championship match with CSKA.

On Sunday, the “red and whites” will host the army club in the match of the 11th round of the MIR Russian Premier League (RPL). In the last two games, Spartak lost to Dynamo in the Russian Cup (0:3) and to Krylia Sovetov in the RPL (0:4).

— In a team like Spartak, after a series of unsuccessful matches, you should always be afraid that you might be fired. Moreover, Abaskal in Spartak periodically does strange things with the choice of players and the lineup for the match. Spartak has no stability this season.

— If Spartak loses in the derby to CSKA, will Abaskal be fired or given a chance?

– Of course, defeat in the derby always reflects very badly. Because there is immediate pressure from fans, the press, and club veterans. Yes maybe. If Spartak wins against CSKA, then the opposite will happen: everyone will start carrying Abascal in their arms. They will say: “The main thing is that you don’t leave. Abascal is the best coach.” Now it’s like this, but a week later there’s a different reaction and a completely different attitude,” RB Sport quotes Dyakov.

Watch the live broadcast of the meeting between Spartak and CSKA on October 8 from 18:00 (Moscow time) on the Match TV channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
