According to former “Spartak” football player Dmitriy Alenichev, the Moscow club needs to strengthen its squad, as midfielder Ezequiel Barko and forward Manfred Ugalde may leave the team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Alenichev emphasizes that if the “red-whites” do not fill the positions of these players, they will not be able to compete for Premier League medals. If Barko and Ugalde leave and new players are not signed, “Spartak” should not even think about finishing in the top three in the new season.
This would be an unacceptable situation for the team’s loyal fans, Alenichev said in an interview with the “Championat” publication. It is worth noting that last season, “Spartak” finished in fourth place in the Russian Premier League.
In the first round of the upcoming championship, Stankovich's team will play against Makhachkala “Dynamo”. The match will take place on July 19, Saturday, in Moscow.
The team's goals for the new season are clear, and strengthening the squad is a top priority.
