“It was clear to everyone, even a newcomer to the stadium, that the Portuguese would set their own rules. All these rumors about Ivic, Cherchesov, etc. are just noise from correspondents who strive to be the first and to broadcast incomprehensible statements. There will be a Portuguese trace, which will probably become more and more noticeable.
If there really is a change at Abascal, it will most likely be towards a Portuguese coach. It makes sense: the focus is on Portugal and Brazil. As for fears that the situation would repeat itself like with Zorn and the German Lokomotiv coaches, I got the impression that Zorn had a team of crooks who simply ruined Lokomotiv for money reasons. Here we are dealing with more knowledgeable people in terms of football, they will try to change something. Maybe they will succeed too.
It seems to me that now Spartak has taken Zenit as a model for a large number of Brazilians, not too expensive, but of high quality. At the same time, the Portuguese are the main agents for attracting Brazilian players to the European market,” Chervichenko noted in an interview with a “Championship” correspondent.
