Aleksandr Chugunov, a former midfielder of Krasnodar "Kuban", shared his thoughts on the teams "Spartak", "Baltika", "Krasnodar", and "Sochi" in an interview with Kirill Ivantsov, a correspondent for the online publication "Evro-Futbol.Ru". Euro-football.ru reported on this.
About "Spartak": the main problem is not in the disqualifications from the game. "Spartak" has fallen into a very difficult situation.
I thought Stankovich would leave, but he didn't, and the team's condition is deteriorating, with nothing promising in sight. About "Baltika": here, the personal ability of coach Talalaev plays a significant role.
He has influenced the players, awakened their sense of self-respect, and instilled confidence in them. There are many Russian-speaking players in the team.
Once, when Krasnojan was asked if "Spartak-Nalchik" played well, he replied that only three players stand out in Russia, the rest are all the same. About "Krasnodar": they used to capitalize on opportunities well, for example, Spertsyan would score many goals, and luck would be on their side.
But it wasn't like that in the game against "Lokomotiv". It would be incorrect to say that "Krasnodar" lost this game.
It just happened that way. They are neither better nor worse than other teams.
About "Sochi": there is neither a coach, nor a team, nor a collective. It is unclear why people are going onto the field.
They are deprived of a sense of self-respect or pride. After two rounds of the championship, "Spartak" and "Krasnodar" have three points, "Baltika" has accumulated four points, while "Sochi" has not earned any points.
