“” commentator Oleg Pirozhkov on the TV channel said that, in his opinion, “Spartacus” overpaid for the Serbian defender Srdjan Babich but the player will strengthen the defense of the team.
The Serbian footballer joined the Moscow club from Spain’s Almeria. He signed a contract with the Red and Whites until 2026. Media reported that the deal would amount to 5 million euros.
– This is a very tall Serbian centre-back, nearly two meters, left-footed, who will likely bolster Spartak’s defence. Because worse than Spartak, it is already impossible to play in the center of defense. I mean the ambitions of the team fighting for the championship. This is how we perceive Spartak or want to perceive it. So far, the set of centre-backs we have are unreliable.
They overpaid for Babich, in my opinion he is not an exceptional player, but with experience playing for the Serbian national team and excellent physical data. I think it will help him. The quality of the game in defense ensures consistency, a sense of partnership, understanding of the football played by the team, insurance, all of this is played out. It’s not an option when you can buy a striker who will create chances and score for himself, like a kind of human orchestra. Defense is a collective interaction. From this will depend how quickly Babich adapts, his benefit will depend on this, ”Pirozhkov told the All for the Match! on the channel.
In the last three RPL matches, Guillermo Abascal’s side have been beaten by Urals (2:3) and Zenit (1:3), and also tied with Akhmat (0:0). The Red and Whites are seventh in the standings, four points behind leaders Krasnodar.
On Tuesday, Spartak will host Capital Dynamo in the group stage match of Russia’s FONBET Cup. Watch the live broadcast of the match starting at 7:15 p.m. (Moscow time) on the channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
