Naumov: "Krasnodar" will not compete for the championship this season

Former president of the “Lokomotiv” club Nikolay Naumov shared his thoughts on the unsuccessful start of the “Krasnodar” team in the new season in an interview with the online publication “Evro-Futbol.Ru”. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to Naumov, it is not surprising that “Krasnodar” lost three out of four matches, including the Super Cup. In his opinion, maintaining high performance is always difficult, as opponents prepare stronger.

Additionally, changes in the squad and the adaptation of new players are also affecting the results. Coach Musaev is implementing new playing styles, which have not yet yielded full results.

Naumov stated that emotional energy is expended after winning the championship, which affects subsequent results. He believes that “Krasnodar” may not be able to compete for the championship this season.

The main problem of the team is the lack of balance between defense and attack. The team is giving too many opportunities to the opponent, which negatively impacts the results.

In the next round, “Krasnodar” will face “Dinamo”. Naumov predicted a draw in this match.

Moreover, he mentioned that in the initial rounds, all leading teams except “Lokomotiv” have dropped points, which opens up opportunities for other clubs throughout the season. In his opinion, “Lokomotiv” may also face difficulties during the season, as the team is young and still gaining experience.

Therefore, the fight for the championship is still open, and unexpected results may occur.
