MOSCOW, August 7, Alena Sulizova. Former Spartak and Russian national team player Yegor Titov said that despite the current situation, we should not forget how much good striker Alexander Sobolev did for the Red-Whites.
Earlier, a source reported that negotiations between Spartak and St. Petersburg Zenit on the transfer of 27-year-old Sobolev had reached an impasse. On July 23, the capital club announced that the striker had been suspended from training with the main squad by decision of the management.
«I can't give an assessment, it is clear that no blogger or journalist can know the situation 100%. There are a lot of guesses, thoughts, they make up a lot, so I don't even want to discuss the topic of who is right or wrong. I don't know. If the team wins without him, well, that means everything is going well. Whether he is needed or not is also not a question for me, but for the coaching staff. Here it should also be noted that Sasha has done a lot of good for Spartak,» Titov said.
«At the moment, I repeat, I am not ready to discuss this. There are a lot of rumors. As Mr. Alexander Medvedev (Zenit Chairman of the Board — ed.) always answers: «You will find out when everything happens.» And he is right. I would start from the facts, the fact is that he is now a Spartak player who works separately from the team. Period,» the ex-footballer added.
