Hockey Spartak this season can play in the Super League. A few days ago, this was absolutely impossible. After the meeting, the head of Rossport, Vyacheslav Fetisov, and the president of the Spartak Cup Gelani Tovbulatov in Spartak's environment were perked up.
In fact, Spartak did not have any enemies, and there are no enemies. There is only a combination of circumstances, because of which one of the respected hockey clubs in the country ended up where he ended up. The national team is now being saved by the whole world. The last to join the rescue team was the Minister of Russian Sports Vyacheslav Fetisov. On Tuesday, he received Gelani Tovbulatov, officially - the head of the Spartak Cup, unofficially - the man whose efforts Spartak is still alive and hopes for a recovery. According to the press officer of the hockey club Dinara Kafiskina, the meeting between Fetisov and Tovbulatov lasted more than two hours. The meeting did not give immediate results, the parties agreed to continue the conversation on Friday. Fetisov promised by this time to present to the Spartak public a serious financial structure, ready, according to the assurances of the Minister, to take care of the Spartak future. After such news, everyone involved in Spartak literally perked up. Among other things, they say that the potential owners of Spartak are ready to finance the club’s performance not even in the highest, but in the Super League. Of course, this is still hard to believe, but in Russia it’s a very possible option. Surrounded by Fetisov and Tovbulatov, a moratorium on any information was announced until Friday. Apparently afraid to jinx it. The president of the FHR, Vladislav Tretyak, who managed to get through to, told Gazeta that he was closely following the Spartak situation, and if the Moscow club resolves all its financial problems, then he, as president of the federation, would be glad and would make every effort to so that the famous club remains in the Super League. It is clear that Tretiak alone does not solve such issues, but it is also clear that the executive committee of the FHR will certainly listen to the opinion of its president.
Recall that the Moscow “Spartak” caught a financial fever at the beginning of the year. With debts, but the team still managed to finish the season. All summer, the red and white courageously fought the disease. At one point, it turned out to be stronger, a week ago it was announced that Spartak had “died”, but, as usual, the rumors were exaggerated. First, the necessary money was found to play in the major league, after the intervention of Vyacheslav Fetisov, we are talking about the Super League. No matter how the situation develops further, what is happening with Spartak now cannot but inspire optimism. Finally, everything will become clear on Friday.
