“Spartak’s footballers need to show more character in matches where they need to add more emotion” – Demenko

Former Spartak footballer Maxim Demenko told how the Moscow team can improve its game.

After eight rounds, the Moscow club has 15 points and is in fifth place in the MIR RPL standings.

— Maybe Spartak’s attacking potential is overestimated?

— In any case, playing against teams with a massive defense is really a problem for the “red-whites.” This is surprising, because such opponents need to be overcome.

— Spartak has variability in attack. Maybe Stankovic chooses the wrong formation for matches with such opponents?

— The guys just need to show more character in matches where they need to add more emotion. Otherwise, they won’t solve problems. And we saw that after scoring a goal, Spartak stopped. They started waiting for the opponent to open up. That was their undoing.

— Spartak is five points behind first place. What do you think about this?

– It’s not critical. Another thing is that the team shouldn’t lose points like that.

— How can the “red-whites” improve their game?

— Due to a greater display of character. Playing emotionally until the end, — Euro-Football.Ru quotes Demenko as saying.
