Athletistic / Football. Legendary Spartak Moscow defender Evgeny Lovchev spoke about striker Manfred Ugalde’s debut in red and white. The Costa Rican spent all 90 minutes on the field in the match of the 19th day of the RPL against Zenit (0:0).
“Everyone talks about Ugalde, but the guy is interesting. It seems to me that when you buy a football player from the Dutch championship, it is interesting in itself. Although Spartak has two other examples. These are from Demi de Zeeuw, who played “in the Dutch national team, but came to Moscow and settled here as a reserve. Well, Guus Thiel, who was highly praised. Slutsky said, he is a very interesting footballer. Quality football players always come from there, trained, high-quality, the Netherlands has a good school,” Lovchev said in a video on Gennady Orlov’s YouTube channel.
Manfred Ugalde cost Spartak 13 million euros. An additional 2 million euros can be transferred to Twente’s account if a number of conditions are met. Note that it was Ugalde who was recognized as the best player in the match between Zenit and Spartak.
