Former head coach of the Russian national team Stanislav Cherchesov expressed surprise at some of the coaching decisions made by Deyan Stankovich, the head coach of Moscow "Spartak," during the match against Kaliningrad "Baltika" in the second round of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The "Red-Whites" suffered a heavy defeat at home with a score of 0:3 and lost two players due to red cards during the match. According to Cherchesov, Markinyos is playing as a defender for the second time, and he would like to discuss coaching matters with Stankovich regarding this.
In an interview with "Match TV," the specialist mentioned that the game could have been salvaged with set pieces, but it was emphasized that Stankovich did not have a backup plan. Cherchesov also added that comparing the "Baltika" team to "Barcelona" is incorrect.
It is worth noting that Markinyos played for Hungary's "Ferencváros" club under the supervision of former coach Stanislav Cherchesov.
