Meeting Fedun with fans, Adriano's “departure” and Selikhov's return: “Spartak” prepares for the debut under the guidance of Kononov

"Changes in the club management were announced"

The change of coach in Spartak, which seemed to have put an end to the active discussions of the team in the media, did not slacken interest in red-white. This is largely due to the fact that the fans of the metropolitan team did not accept the resignation of Massimo Carrera, as well as obstructed the owner of the club, Leonid Fedun.

The vice-president of Lukoil decided not to leave the attacks of the fans unanswered and met with representatives of the fans at Otkritie Arena. The meeting was also attended by the Vice-President of Spartak Nail Izmailov and the new head coach Oleg Kononov.

Later in the association of fans of the red-and-white “Fratria” they told about the results of the negotiations. In particular, the fans stressed that they still do not want to see captain Denis Glushakov in the team.

“At the meeting, we expressed our demands and opinions, which were earlier stated in the statement. In particular, we paid attention to the fact that Denis Glushakov is unacceptable for us as a player and captain of “Spartacus,” reads the text posted on the website of Fratria.

Also in the association told that at the meeting the fans "were announced changes in the structure and leadership."

“Before these changes, we do not abandon our actions and will observe what is happening. We hope that the situation in the club will be normalized, and we are waiting for the appropriate decisions from the club management, ”the fans said.

"On the departure of football players are not talking"

In the near future, fans will certainly expect a serious change in the composition of the team. In the meantime, before the opening of the winter transfer window remains more than a month, the media told about the possible departure from the "Spartacus" Luiz Adriano. In this case, the contract of the Brazilian striker with the Russian club is valid until June 2020.

It is reported that the 31-year-old forward with one of the highest salaries in the team can replenish the composition of the German “Eintracht” from Frankfurt am Main or the French “Nantes”.

In the current season, Adriano scored only two goals in all tournaments, however, in Spartak, the information about his departure was denied.

“We understand that attention to“ Spartak ”is especially close. Journalists use this and almost daily report news that does not correspond to reality. I want to remind you that the new coaching staff is just getting acquainted with the team. Under Oleg Georgievich Kononov, Spartak has not played a single match yet. And we are not talking about any personnel decisions, including the sale of players, ”the club’s general director Sergey Rodionov said.

“And our fans, I urge to believe only official reports on our website. Given the unhealthy excitement around "Spartacus", we will try to be as open as possible and refute unreliable information ", - he added.

"I miss this case"

In the meantime, “Spartak” not only does not lose the players, but also replenishes them. So, after a long absence, Alexander Selikhov returned to the general group. The goalkeeper was seriously injured on May 11 on the day of the announcement of an expanded Russian team for the World Cup and was forced to miss the world championship.

“All thoughts were. You think: really will not be as before? But I was assured that the state is normalizing, it just takes time. The most important thing to drive the thought that you can not. Need to endure and work on it. It is not just about the injury of Achilles, I still did the heel cleaning. It’s harder, it takes time for it to heal, ”said the goalkeeper in an interview with club television.

Even without appearing on the field, Selikhov managed to earn a conditional two-match disqualification for insulting gestures towards opponents during the match “Spartak” - “Akhmat”, for which the goalkeeper observed on the fan stand.

“It’s very hard when you look at everything from the podium and you can’t take part at least in training in the general group. When you go out in a common group, you feel an emotional charge and you want to be everywhere. It’s clear that I missed this case, ”the goalkeeper added.

Thus, only George Jikia and Mikhail Ignatov, who only recently returned to the location of the team from the national teams, dealt with restrictions on Thursday.
