The new head coach of Spartak, Juan Carcedo, said that he loves attacking football. The Spaniard wants dominance on the field from his players.
He moved to the Moscow club from Paphos, with whom he won the championship and the Cyprus Cup.
– “Spartak” is traditionally a team that attacks a lot.
– Yes, but the most important thing is the right balance. The best team is not only the one that scores a lot, but also the one that keeps a clean sheet. And we want to find this balance. We understand that we have a very strong attacking line. But it is equally important not to miss in order to be closer to victories.
– For Paphos these were the first trophies in history, but they are always expected from Spartak. Are you ready for a completely different pressure?
– Certainly. And we came here precisely for this: for victories and for the desire to make the fans proud of us. Spartak has everything to add new trophies to its rich collection in the coming years.
– What kind of football should your Spartak play?
– We want to dominate on the field. I also love attacking football. But the balance I talked about is important. I have a lot of experience building defensive play on Emery’s staff. And here Spartak can definitely improve.
- Carcedo previously worked for Spartak on Unai Emery’s staff in 2012.
- The red-whites occupy 6th place in the RPL with 29 points after 18 rounds.
