Demenko: I Don't Understand Why Stankovic Rotates the Squad So Much at Spartak
Demenko's Criticism of Stankovic's Rotation Policy
Former Spartak Moscow player Yegor Demenko has criticized manager Guillermo Abascal's rotation policy, claiming that it is confusing and ineffective.
Demenko, who played for Spartak from 2006 to 2013, said: "I don't understand why Stankovic rotates the squad so much. It's confusing for the players and it doesn't seem to be working."
Impact on Team Performance
Demenko believes that Stankovic's rotation policy is having a negative impact on Spartak's performance.
He said: "The team needs stability. They need to know who is playing and who is not. This constant chopping and changing is not helping them."
Spartak have won just one of their last four league games and are currently 10th in the table.
Demenko's Proposed Solution
Demenko believes that Stankovic should stick with a more settled team.
He said: "I think he needs to pick a team and stick with it. The players need to get used to playing with each other and they need to get used to his system."
It remains to be seen whether Stankovic will take Demenko's advice. However, it is clear that Spartak's poor form is a cause for concern.
Conclusion
Demenko's criticism of Stankovic's rotation policy is a valid one. Spartak need to find a more settled team if they are to improve their performance.
