Moscow Coach “Spartacus” Guillermo Abascal responded with restraint to a question about the club’s goals for the season, noting that the team needed to improve with every training session.
Abascal was appointed head coach of the Rouge-Blancs in June, replacing Paolo Vanoli. At the end of last season, the Spaniard was Basel’s head coach. The team he led won silver in the Swiss championship.
– Do you have a task for the season?
– Of course, when you come to such a big club, there are goals. My goal is to improve all the time to win every game. Today, I think tomorrow’s training will be better than the previous one. The more we talk about goals, the further they will be from us. The longer you wait, the more it hurts to fail.
– Before you arrived, Cattani said that you agreed to lead Spartak in 4 days. How did you take so long to prepare?
There are several hours in four days. And besides that, there is experience. And such decisions are not made in 10 minutes. We must evaluate the players, their characteristics, the ambitions of the club. I’m sure there are no accidents.
– Again on the goals. Spartak wants to become champions every year, everyone is waiting for another victory in the Russian Cup, and the team also won a group in the Europa League. Would you like to become champion, enter the top 3 or win the Russian Cup? I’d like to hear the details, not the words on how to improve each workout.
The championship has not started yet. What would your goal be?
– Championship.
– Excellent. Set yourself such a goal. My goal is to improve every workout. We have to win every training session every day. This is achieved through many factors. We must also prepare for defeat.
– You can train very well, but lose.
– Sure. In football, unlike basketball, you can lose by conceding a random goal, making 18 shots or failing to score a penalty. We must work every day to increase our confidence. Spartak cannot rely on luck to decide the outcome of the game.
Last season, Spartak took 10th place in the RPL.
