Former midfielder and ex-player of the Krasnodar "Kuban" football club, Aleksey Selin, shared his thoughts on the transfer of 34-year-old forward Anton Zabolotniy to Moscow "Spartak" in an interview with Euro-Football.ru journalist Kirill Ivantsov. Euro-football.ru reported this.
According to Selin, Zabolotniy's transfer is not a strengthening or weakening for "Spartak," but an opportunity to join the main squad. After Sobolev's departure, "Spartak" needed exactly this type of forward.
Most importantly, Zabolotniy needs to adapt to the new team and be beneficial for it. When asked about his secret, Selin said that despite criticism, Zabolotniy continues to work tirelessly and plays very calmly and diligently on the field.
He tries to help the team as much as he can. Although he hasn't scored many goals, there are results to consider.
The contract signed with "Spartak" is intended for one year. Based on his performance next season, the club will decide on his future.
I hope that the playing time he is given will be used effectively. Depending on the situations on the field, the tactics used in various games, and Zabolotniy's physical condition, it will be determined how long he plays on the field.
Initially, he may not be a main squad player for "Spartak," Selin said. Zabolotniy's previous club was "Khimki," where he spent the last season.
Thus, Zabolotniy will need time to adapt to his new team and showcase himself. This transfer is expected to bring new opportunities and additional strength for "Spartak."
