Athletistic / Football. The legendary coach of Lokomotiv Nizhny Novgorod Valery Ovchinnikov said that he does not understand why new Yegor Titovs have not appeared in the capital’s Spartak in recent years.
“It is clear that the time of Tikhonov, Titov, Tsymbalar, Alenichev in Spartak has already passed. Where are the new Russian talents?
Does the team now have Zinkovsky, Ignatov and Sobolev? Stop! Do you now equate them with the Titovs? People like Titov are born once every 50 years? They find people like Titov and give them a chance! You just have to watch. That’s all! Spartak was once considered the people’s team, but today foreign players are recognized as the best.
If you don’t give young people a chance, how will they get there? Why then create academies? Why are they investing money there? To then send the guys to the second and third divisions? » Sport-Express quotes Ovchinnikov.
Spartak has scored 43 points in 27 matches and is in fourth place in the RPL standings. The gap with the first three (Zenit, Dynamo, Krasnodar) is now 7 points.
