Russian Premier League: Spartak Moscow

Spartak Moscow is probably the most recognizable Russian club around the world. Most of the titles, won by the club dated back in the Soviet era and in the period between 1992-2001st. During the last period, the club represented the Russian Federation in the European Champions League but fail to record memorable appearance. Despite this fact Spartak Moscow remains the best Russian team, according to the Russian sources and statistics.
Today the club from Moscow is going through a lot of changes, organizational and sponsorship. The team made a huge impress during their first Champions League game against Barcelona, missing the chance to grab at least a point in Spain. The fans wait impatiently for the upcoming match in the Russian Premier League against Anzhi. This could be the game of the season for the Moscow club. Spartak Moscow has proved that the temporary standings do not matter at the end of the season. Last year the team managed to finish second, due to impressive final games against Lokomotiv Moscow and Zenit. This week the team is on the 7th place, seven points behind the leaders. It`s an interesting fact that Spartak has the second best attacking, scoring only two goals less than the leader Anzhi. The thing that sounds as a nightmare for their coach and fans is the poor defense. Spartak Moscow conceded 18 goals, which makes the team`s defense the second worst from the first ten teams of the Russian championship.
The fans of the club are hoping for another magic end, so the team could clear some of the poor records, made in the beginning. The new coach wants results from his star players. It won`t be a surprise if the president replace the Spanish coach, if the team fails to record successful games, mainly in the Champions League.
