Spartak defender Pavel Maslov explained on why the Moscow team was unsuccessful last season.
Spartak took fifth place in the Russian Premier League (RPL) in the 2023/24 season.
— What is the reason for such a performance by Spartak?
“We started the spring badly, but then we started to improve the situation. When we performed poorly, so did the teams above. And if the circuits had been swapped, we could have climbed to the top, then the feeling of the season would have been different. If we had won the matches at the start of spring, we could have gone high. But we have what we have. Fifth place is not what Spartak should aspire to.
— What is missing to play as a starter in central defense?
— You have to gain playing time, tone, you can become stronger, faster, play better with your head. Many qualities can be improved. 100% experience required. Jadon Sancho could not find himself at Manchester United, but shone again at Borussia. It’s a question of psychology, but it also happens the other way around, when players get lost,” Maslov told .
Last season, 24-year-old Maslov played nine matches for Spartak in all tournaments, but was not effective.
