Coach Juan Carlos Cardedo spoke to Spartak players before the new season

Spartak head coach Juan Carlos Cardedo gave a speech to his players ahead of the new season. "Good morning, boys! I hope you have a good rest after celebrating the victory in the Russian Cup. We have achieved a good result, going down in history. But now a new phase begins, with new goals. As Babich said, next month we will have important matches and a new season. So we have gathered here to work hard, preserving what was good last season, the team spirit. Here [at Tarasovka] is a historical place: Roman [Zobnin] told me that he used to train here, I even trained here 14 years ago. This is important to be aware of the history of our club," Cardedo said in a video on the team's Telegram channel.
