MOSCOW, July 12, Oleg Bogatov. Two-time USSR football champion Anzor Kavazashvili said that Spartak Moscow is unlikely to be able to join the fight for prizes in the upcoming Russian championship, as the team lacks bright high-level players. After winning the Cup of Russia, the Italian head coach Paolo Vanoli left the team. Then the club was headed by 33-year-old Spaniard Guillermo Abascal. In the match for the Russian Super Cup, Muscovites on July 9 in St. Petersburg lost to the national champion Zenit with a score of 0: 4. «All coaches go to Spartak only for money, none of them study the team they will work in. Nobody. «They heard that there is such a team — Spartak, but they don't even know the players who play in it. I'm pessimistic about the prospects of the team. And where does optimism come from? A new coach came and immediately received four goals from Zenit. I understand «Zenith» is, of course, stronger. But before the match, they made such a riot at the level of the wife of the owner of «Spartak» (Zarema Salikhova). They raised such a high that I thought — after that, «Spartak» would come out and tear apart «Zenith». And they only lasted 15 minutes,» Kavazashvili said. On the eve of the meeting, representatives of Spartak repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the match would be held in St. don't think about it. What's a three or a five? With a game like that of Spartak, they themselves do not know what they are playing. And most importantly — there are no performers. They say (midfielder Christopher) Martins arrived late, so he is not ready. But he also receives big money and did not arrive on time. Yes, for this the footballer's head should be torn off. How can you not arrive on time?» — added the source of the agency.
