Former footballer and coach of Dynamo Moscow, **Andrey Kobelev**, believes that the transfers of players **Pablo Solari** and **Liva Garcia** have negatively impacted the atmosphere at Spartak. Garcia and Solari joined the red-and-whites during the winter transfer window of 2025.

“Spartak in the fall and Spartak in the spring are two entirely different teams. It seems to me that the winter signings of Solari and Garcia have disrupted the team’s chemistry. Ugalde has faltered, and the entire Spartak squad isn’t performing as vibrantly as they did in the fall. A more thorough analysis could be provided by the coaching staff, who interact with the players daily. It’s evident that Spartak has lost the energy they had before the winter break. When the championship challenge faded, the red-and-whites possibly shifted their focus solely to the Russian Cup,” Kobelev stated in an interview with Championship correspondent Vladislav Kruglov.
