ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 19, Dmitry Edigarev. Chief Spartak coach Guillermo Abascal, suspending striker Alexander Sobolev, is trying to find the reasons for his failures in Russian football players, said former president of the capital club Andrei Chervichenko.
Earlier, journalist Ivan Karpov reported in his Telegram channel that Abaskal removed Sobolev from training in the general group due to problems with discipline. On Wednesday, the Muscovites' press service stated that the forward was at the team's base and was participating in rehabilitation training.
“»Apparently, in Spartak there is a global conflict between Russians and foreign players due to different attitudes towards themselves. Guillermo Abascal has swum and is trying to find the reason for his failures in Russian football players. If the question is simply in the behavior of Alexander Sobolev, then I would side with the coach. But if there is a conflict in the team, then Abascal should leave the club. Let him go to his place in Spain and tell how bad everyone is in Russia,» Chervichenko said.
“I don’t know who can come instead of Abascal, but this person will have to reconcile and make friends with the players. I see that now Spartak is not a single team,” the interlocutor added.
