Former Spartak Moscow football player **Dmitry Khlyestov** expressed critical views regarding the management of the Moscow club. Under the leadership of **Dejan Stankovich**, the team has accumulated 18 points after 11 matches and is currently in sixth place in the Mir RPL standings.
“Whether it’s Stankovich or other coaches, Spartak plays in the same manner and is currently in fifth place. We need to ask the coaches why this is happening. I watch little football, so it’s difficult for me to comment further. One must be part of the team to understand the reasons behind this. There’s no such thing as luck for a team; one game may go well while another does not.
It’s essential to consistently maintain a high standard. Yes, there can be a decline in performance during a single game, but it shouldn’t happen that after one, two, or three matches the team appears to be performing poorly. There’s a casual approach from both the coaching staff and the management of Spartak — there’s no strictness, and yet everyone seems satisfied,” Khlyestov stated in an interview with Championship correspondent Vladislav Kruglov.
