If Markin is going to leave, "Spartak" will not lose much

Football expert Andrey Gordeev shared his thoughts on the negotiations of “Spartak” midfielder Markinhos with Brazil's “Santos” club in an exclusive interview with the online publication “Evro-Futbol.ru”. This was reported by www.euro-football.ru.

According to him, the organization of work in each team should be such that no single player has a significant impact on the result. This is an incorrect approach.

Of course, there will be exceptions, but this situation is not exactly that. The “Red-Whites” fans recognized Markinhos as the best player of the last season.

Gordeev agrees with this assessment, as the player performed well. Nevertheless, he does not have as strong an influence on “Spartak” as some big personalities do.

Every team has leaders, but this is a broad concept. Sometimes each line has its own leader, which is much better. Regarding who could currently be a substitute for Markinhos at “Spartak” or the necessity of acquiring a new player, those within the club can provide better answers to this question.

Typically, two names are put forward for each position, but immediately filling Markinhos' place is difficult. Such transfers are better to be made in the longer transfer window, as there is more time for the transfer processes, which makes it safer and more accurate. When asked whether Markinhos should be sold for a high price, the expert responded: If there is a good offer, there is no need to hold onto the player.

Even if there are often beneficial offers, there have been mistakes in keeping the player. Psychologically, this can have a heavy impact on the player.

Therefore, it is necessary to accept an offer that is beneficial for all parties, especially if it covers the expenses.

The player's career is short-term, and he needs to develop. This is also a positive situation for the team; if the club develops and sells the player, it shows they are on the right track. The Transfermarkt portal values Markinhos at 6 million euros.

According to the structural rule, financial experts should comment on this, as we do not see the calculations and can only make assumptions. Last season, this legionnaire scored 2 goals and made 12 assists. In response to the question of how he evaluates this statistic, Gordeev said: This player definitely influenced the team's results.

His teammates felt more confident alongside him, and this is important. However, his departure will not lead to significant changes for “Spartak”. Interview author: Yelena Grigorievskaya
