Rebuild the defense and prepare Promes in absentia. Spartak tasks for winter 2022/23

To prepare Promes in absentia for the resumption of the season

Everyone already knows that Quincy Promes has big problems in the Netherlands, so he returned to Moscow in February 2021. And the first year passed without incident. Last fall it seemed that all the troubles were over, but suddenly the situation even worsened. At home, the Dutchman received a second accusation: that he had invested 250,000 euros in drug trafficking.

It’s impossible to figure out who’s right and who’s to blame (and there’s no need to). The main thing is that you are not allowed into the United Arab Emirates, because this country has an extradition agreement with the Netherlands. But the Spartacists did not take this into account when they planned the training camp here.

Consequently, Promes, in order not to risk herself, asked that she not be forced to go to the Middle East. The club reasonably agreed to her request. But she will prepare for the resumption of the season with the youth team, which is clearly not the same as the foreign training camp with partners. Guillermo Abascal promised to give the room the same exercises with the same intensity, to be physically at the same level as the team, but is it possible to play a soccer player in absentia? The first team will participate in the winter tournament with strong sparring partners, and the junior team?

In addition, the psychological state of the player is questionable. There is no doubt about his motivation. It is not surprising that at the end of December they began to talk in depth about obtaining Quincy’s Russian citizenship. However, difficulties at home and in the family cannot pass without leaving a trace. And he will not even be able to distract himself from bad thoughts in a conversation with his comrades, because they are all in the United Arab Emirates. Therefore, Abaskal will have to solve the non-trivial task of preparing the attack leader for departures.

Back to Moses and Martins

There are difficulties with three more legionnaires: Victor Moses, Christopher Martins and Keita Balde. The three practically did not play in the fall. Moses and Martins were sidelined for a long time with injuries, with the striker serving a doping ban.

Spartak looked great even without them, but Mozes is not inferior to Promes in terms of class (ie, by Russian standards, a top player), Martins clearly added resources to the mid lane, and Balde, at least, receives a solid salary. . give up on him. That is to say, at least both midfielders must play almost zero at the base. And this despite the fact that the Nigerian misses the first collection.

So it turns out that the middle line of Muscovites hangs. Promes will not train with the team, while Martins and Moses are making connections with partners from scratch. In general, the quality of the players is sufficient so that in the spring they can quickly get into the rhythm of the game, but this may require a couple of matches, failures in which the topic of the championship race can be closed.

Decide for Bucket

The qualification of this striker is still in doubt. There’s no arguing, his resume is decent (Lazio, Monaco, Inter), but when was the last time he showed class on the pitch? 2022 was a catastrophic year for him, and no one guarantees that the next year will be better. So, in training camp, Abaskal needs to understand if he expects any help from the striker in the season. After all, if not, then it would be better to entrust the place of the first spare to 18-year-old Pavel Meleshin.

rebuild defense

In December, Leonid Fedun’s former adviser Franco Camozzi clearly identified two positions that needed to be strengthened: center back and left back. In the center of defense, there was a rearrangement: Miha Mevlya was released, and instead a contract was signed with the captain of Cerro Porteño, 22-year-old Alexis Duarte. Suppose the Spartacists got the replacement right. So Abascal’s task will be to fit the newcomer into the game.

But on the left flank there are more questions. On a day-to-day basis, Tomás Tavares, who can play on both flanks of the defence, should come from Benfica, but with the departure of Nikolai Rasskazov to Krylya Sovetov (while on trial there), Abascal has a right-back profile – Daniel Denisov. There is also Daniil Khlusevich, but he is much more useful with the ball than without it.

So Tavares (he, by the way, knows the Basel coworking coach) will almost certainly see him more often on the right wing, which is a profile for him. Then Maciej Rybus, Leon Klassen and Khlusevich himself remain on the left, each of whom has very limited abilities. I remember with sadness how Ayrton dusted off here for several years. Unfortunately, in winter, Flamengo bought him for 7 million euros.

One way or another it will be necessary to change at least two positions out of four in defense, and for this line they are very big changes. In fact, building from scratch. And you still have to do it in a month and a half.

Give Maksimenko more practice

It’s really cool to have two identical goalkeepers, but you always have to have an idea of ​​which one is closer to the first number. Today, apparently, this is Alexander Selikhov. Maksimenko is already 24 years old, and just sitting on the bench is not too good for him, and the Cup matches are clearly not enough.

Instead of Spartak, I would allow the young goalkeeper to spend six months or a year on loan in a team where he will play 80-100% of the games, and as a safety net I would choose a young substitute (Anton Shitov who went to the field will manage), or, conversely, a seasoned veteran like Yaroslav Godzyur or Andrei Sinitsyn (both free agents). At one time, this role was played perfectly by Artem Rebrov.

Reveal Zinkovsky

A unique player for Russian football in the fall at Spartak too often appeared only as a substitute. For the owner of such a luxurious dribble and a fantastic shot, capable of deciding the outcome of the matches on his own, this is a disaster. Abascal needs to take advantage of the absence of Promes to fit Antón into the team’s game.
