Shpilevsky & European Football: Vadim Pigas Analysis

– How do you work under the guidance of compatriot Alexei Shpilevsky in Paris NN? I heard that in “Arisa” he had tough, intense and energy -consuming training, with an eye on the attack. Now the same?
– Yes, this is 100% so. He adheres to the European football model, and I really like it. High pressure, playing with the bottom, conscious actions both in the attack and in defense. Training is always diverse, we are working on all components.

– I also heard the opinion that such an approach to Spilevsky to the training process as if not quite suitable for the level of Paris NN players. Is it sometimes that there is a feeling that any ideas of the head coach is not clear to you?
– No, I think that this is not. Everyone understands how Paris NN played before – there was a slightly different model of the game – a little simpler, let’s say so. And now we are rebuilt. Of course, it takes time to get used to playing such football. Moreover, against Zenit, Spartak, Dynamo – such teams that have probably been put such football from childhood. I would say that you just need time. Although I believe that in some components we did not give in to Zenit.
