Promes called the new Spartak coach a professional

Spartak Moscow’s new coach Guillermo Abascal is a “good professional” and can help the team achieve great success, said Red-White midfielder Quincy Promes.

Abaskal is 33 years old, he headed Spartak on June 10.

– The atmosphere is good. Glad to welcome a new coach. It seems to me that this is a good professional. At first, it is important for us to get to know each other better, and the coach will have to study the team properly. I hope that together we will achieve great success. With pleasure I say to him: “Welcome!”

If we want to become champions, win trophies, then one of the key conditions is the right atmosphere and a sense of family. It should be the only way in Spartak,” Promess said in an interview with the Spartak press service.

The midfielder also said that it was important for him to play under the tenth number, which he returned to himself after the departure of Zelimkhan Bakaev.

“It means a lot to me. For some it’s just a number, but not for me. I have vivid memories and events associated with the ten. I think the number has returned to the one who should have it,” Promes said.

Last season, the Dutchman made 31 appearances across all competitions, scoring 12 goals and making 5 assists.
