Smorodskaya: Samoshnikov will not help Spartak
Information was provided about the latest developments in Uzbek football and the Russian championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Former president Olga Smorodskaya, as the former head of the Lokomotiv club, responded to the question of whether Spartak's acquisition of Ilya Samoshnikov would help the team enter the top three of the Russian Premier League (RPL). In her opinion, a single player cannot significantly influence the team's results.
More serious changes are necessary within the club. In particular, Stankovich's departure from the team could help improve Spartak's situation, but Samoshnikov's arrival will not affect this.
Earlier, Spartak's press service officially announced Samoshnikov's transfer from Lokomotiv to Spartak. The player signed a contract until 2028.
The team, under the leadership of Stankovich, will play their next match on August 23. In the sixth round of the RPL, the "red-whites" will face Rubin on the field.
This game is expected to influence the team's subsequent results this season. Thus, the team's success largely depends on the overall strategy and management.
