Tarhanov Slams Spartak's Performance, Eyes Tough Battle Ahead
Ex-coach Alexander Tarhanov took a hard look at Spartak Moscow's performance in the first half of the Russian Championship and didn't mince words. In his opinion, the team's lackluster results against lower-ranked opponents stemmed from insufficient pre-match preparation and underestimation of their rivals by both players and head coach Dejan Stankovic.
Recently, Spartak suffered losses to Rubin and Dinamo Makhachkala, drew with Akhmat, and barely squeaked by Akron with a late-game goal. Tarhanov attributed these missteps to the team's dwindling focus and overconfidence against weaker opponents. At present, Spartak stands third in the RPL standings with 50 points, while Zenit (53) and Krasnodar (55) lead the pack. The next challenge for Spartak is against CSKA on April 26.
