Diniyar Bilyaletdinov said he did not like the “Spartak” match with Vanoli

Former Spartak midfielder Diniyar Bilyaletdinov in a conversation with spoke about his departure Paolo Vanoli of Spartak.

June 10″Spartacus ” announced a new head coach – they became 33-year-old Guillermo Abascal. The last club in the Spaniard’s career was the Swiss “Basel”, of which he was the interim head coach from February 21 He led the team to silver medals in the 2021/22 national championship.On the eve of Spartak’s post as head coach, 49-year-old Italian Paolo Vanoli left.

— What impression did Vanoli leave?

– It’s hard to say, he worked a little while. But on the other hand, he left a mark in the history of the club – he won the Cup, – Bilyaletdinov told .

– Spartak played a lot on counter-attacks, became more defensive. Didn’t that bother you?

– We saw that under Tedesco there was a calculation for a fast attack, it gave results. Probably, such a strategy was chosen based on the set of players.

But I wouldn’t say that under Vanoli Spartak played heavily defensively. He acted situationally – according to the opponent. Someone was rushed, someone was caught on the counterattack, someone was met in the middle block. There was no specific system, it seems to me.

– Spartak tried to keep Vanoli after the trophy, but the Italian still left – apparently under pressure. How do you feel about this?

“You have to understand what is happening in the world. He probably had his own reasons for this. Family matters included. It is impossible to condemn it, everyone builds their own career, understanding how it will be right. Moreover, now is a difficult time, not worthy of condemnation.

What impression did he leave on a human level?

Emotional, yes. It is obvious that he lived every episode. But we have seen such coaches before. The same Tedesco was always excited on the edge. Such a temper – if it’s easier for him, then leave it.

– Have the players progressed under Vanoli?

– Probably, he first tried to establish harmony in the system. So that there were no weak points, there were no adventurous actions of any kind. Personally, I was lacking in individual actions, we only saw that in the performance of outsiders.

Did Vanoli’s system limit players? I think so. They played more disciplined, less adventurous. On a good solid level, but not to say that it was such that I enjoyed the game or memorized any brilliant moments from matches on my own.
