Boyarintsev named a coach who could do more at Spartak Moscow

Former midfielderSpartacus “, and now coach Denis Boyarintsev in an interview with expressed the opinion that the Danish specialist Michel Laudrup under whose leadership he worked, could do more as the head coach of the “red-whites”, but did not fully understand the Russian mentality.

Laudrup led the Moscow club’s coaching staff in 2008-2009.

Who is the most underrated coach you have worked with? It’s hard to say. I remember Laudrup: he didn’t succeed in Russia, but he seems to me to be a pretty strong coach. He has very interesting workouts, a lot of control exercises, which personally I haven’t seen anywhere. With a lot of neutrals, with interesting transition moments, squares with a small number of players and high intensity. It was very interesting.

Unfortunately, I think he underestimated our mentality. In many things I hoped for the professionalism of the players (I’m not even talking about the regime now, but in general), but it didn’t work out. Laudrup thought we were going to score unpretentious set pieces ourselves, we would run where we needed to.

It gave me a lot of freedom, I guess. It’s 2009, there are a lot of interesting young guys in the squad – and I think it was a mistake to bring them together on game day for dinner. This is not a determining factor, of course, but one of.

– Everyone admired the way Laudrup, then 44, played double-sided.

– Yes, it’s just amazing! Crazy level. I don’t even know how to explain it and convey it. Such a subtle player, such cool decisions he made. It seemed impossible to give such programs, they simply do not pass there, but he found them and gave them. He rarely logged on, but he is always fondly remembered. By the way, Karpin and Ledyakhov also took part in game exercises and were also in excellent condition, Boyarintsev told .
