Criticizes Spartak for insufficient consistency
Spartak Struggles in RPL as Former Goalkeeper Expresses Concerns
In an exclusive interview with Match TV, Alexander Filimonov, the former goalkeeper of Moscow's Spartak, voiced his concerns about the current state of his former club. The team, currently managed by Dejan Stankovic, is experiencing a rough patch in the Russian Premier League (RPL), sitting in 13th place after five rounds with only 5 points.
The team's poor performance is a reflection of the systemic instability and inconsistency within Spartak, Filimonov noted. The club has been hiring new coaches frequently with no stability or results, a concern that has been echoed by Filimonov himself.
The upcoming match against Rubin on August 23 presents a significant challenge for Spartak. This encounter offers an opportunity for the team to improve their standing in the RPL and demonstrate some much-needed consistency.
The current coach, Dejan Stankovic, is leading a team that is struggling in their sporting results, as Filimonov pointed out. Despite the team's struggles, Filimonov does not seem bitter or sad about not receiving any offers for cooperation from Spartak since his departure 24 years ago. Instead, he is fully focused on his own projects.
The new coach of Spartak, Okan Buruk, will have his work cut out for him as he attempts to steer the team towards success. The instability and inconsistency, according to Filimonov, are reflected in the team's sporting results, and it remains to be seen whether Buruk can bring about the necessary changes to turn things around.
The team's current standing in the RPL confirms the concerns expressed by Alexander Filimonov about the state of Spartak. As the season progresses, fans and analysts alike will be closely watching to see if the team can turn things around and reclaim their former glory.
