Pogrebnyak – about Abaskal’s work in Spartak: “If a redhead is on the team, then it’s good luck”

Former Spartak striker Pavel Pogrebnyak, commenting on the work of coach Guillermo Abascal, joked that a person with red hair brings good luck to any team.

After 16 rounds, the Moscow club ranks 4th in the RPL WORLD table, gaining 27 points.

— Now one of the most criticized coaches in Russia is Guillermo Abascal. Does he get it from fans and experts?

– If a redhead is on the team, then it’s good luck. Seriously, there is a saying! They either want to remove Abaskal or leave him. It is not clear how politics is conducted there. For me, Spartak is a mystery. What’s going on there? There are conflicts within the team: someone did not come to breakfast, someone was offended… It is clear that with such a microclimate in the team it is unlikely to be possible to fight for something serious. “Spartak” in all its glory is to surprise, discuss…

I think that Abascal will calmly continue to work, because they played with Lokomotiv with a score of 1:1 in the minority and then beat Rostov and Baltika. With this, he concreted his place until the summer for sure,” Metaratings.ru quotes Pogrebnyak.
