There are few arguments in favor of the triumph of the “red-whites”.

Inexperienced head coach

Abascal needs to admit his coaching sins more often, and the incredibly young coach has huge problems with this. Even when you ask a Spaniard directly about his mistakes, instead of explanations and humility they see him step aside. To child prodigies, it may seem like the world has never seen anyone smarter. But in reality Guillermo is experiencing a weak personal season. There are no results, but the coach is judged by them. There is no personal progress of the players, and this is also important when evaluating the coach’s work. Finally, moving from one season to another, we notice a notable deterioration in results. In the last championship, Abascal, although he worked without money and newcomers in an unknown championship, scored 26 points in 13 rounds. Now I have only collected twenty. Then 31 goals were scored, now there are 18. Obviously they concede more often than a year ago. This is a coaching failure. The only thing that saves Spartak from eighth place is that its neighbors from Moscow are not better, they are even unstable.

Inadequacy of the players

Sobolev said he would not communicate with the press. For the thousandth time it must be repeated that the representatives mass media he doesn’t care about the players’ thoughts. It is necessary to extract interesting information from a football player with a red-hot tong. An interview is a conversation with fans, not the press. Spartak believes that there is a “mole” in the team, because the press learned about the conflict between Abaskal and Sobolev, problems with Dzhikia and other events faster than the club’s representatives wanted. But do the players behave appropriately? Captain Georgiy encouraged the coach after the interview with Abascal. Sobolev has poor self-control. Of the young footballers, only Denisov and Litvinov prove themselves to be fighters. The rest of the Russians “caught a star” without having a single world title. There is a foreigner, Moses, who has lost interest in playing for Spartak. There’s Promes, who pretends he wasn’t sentenced to a year and a half for attacking his cousin with a knife and has no intention of serving any more years for drug trafficking on a particularly large scale. Many players put themselves above Spartak’s interests, and it shows. Promes is a wonderful footballer, but his behavior in recent years can hardly be called adequate, starting with beating his wife.

Middle class artists

Sobolev is the outsider striker of the French championship. In Serie A he could be on the bench in a modest team, at the moment he is not up to the level of elite football, in 11 games RPL modest 2 goals and 3 assists. Promes, of course, stands out. But Quincy was afraid in his head that he, such a cool gangsta rapper, would be thrown into prison for many years, and this would mean the end of his career at the age of 31. Bongonda, Martins and Medina are not good foreigners, as are the defenders Duarte and Babic. “Spartak” does not have an analogue of the Latin American band Semak on the field, which helped the mentor. Abascal can’t come up with awkward approaches, hoping that players will turn his weak plan into candy. Spartak, obviously, is trying to play as number one. There were glimpses and successful fights. But a championship team was not created. Zobnin also plays badly, and this is like a litmus test: Roman’s form can be used to judge the state of the “red-whites”. “Spartak” Abaskal, where many newcomers did not impress with their class, like the Moldovan Ryabchuk, is not ready for trophy feats. The Cup will also be difficult to win, because the opponents are objectively not afraid of Moscow celebrities, as Fakel demonstrated the day before.

Another boring reconstruction

Neither fish nor fowl, and we don’t know if there are two sides within the team: Russians against foreigners. The work of Sisyphus is suitable to describe the existence of “Spartacus”. They drag a stone to the top and then this boulder crushes them. Historical status and oil guarantee “immortality”; you can start from the bottom and drag the precious body back up, but the result is known in advance. By the end of October it is clear that Spartak is going through another season of reconstruction. This is the history of the club in the 21st century, with the exception of a few seasons. Maybe even a fabulous year with the Carrera and an unexpected “gold”. But if they risk changing the coach in the winter, and there are frictions within the team – this can be seen on the field, there is no need to place hidden cameras and listening devices in the locker rooms, then until the spring Spartak will new being “in search of himself”.

This is allowed to yesterday’s schoolboy, but not to the second richest club RPL twenty-first century. The “red and whites” have few trophies because they don’t deserve to win. Coach Karpin at Spartak had seasons in which he almost bit the champion’s elbow, but more often he received punches in the stomach, like now. In theory, Spartak still has a chance for first place, because it is only halfway through the season. The team is not without hope. But when there is a mediocre coach, arrogant players and inconsistent results, just evaluating useless shots for the sake of quantity instead of creating clear opportunities, then you cannot trust the fairy tales of rebirth. The club is not going in the right direction with the new managers. It’s more like the feeling that Fedun is gone, but his work lives on. Everyone will be surprised if Abascal faces a team in which he has enemies and in the spring he can fight for the title. Most likely, all the words of the management are about supporting the coach until a new series of defeats. Go inside RPL Spartak’s matches with Lokomotiv and Rostov could aggravate the impact of the defeat in Voronezh, because Dzyuba and Karpin will certainly want to upset their former team.
