Famous coach Alexander Tochilin shared his thoughts on the unsuccessful performances of the "Spartak", "Zenit", and "Dynamo" teams in the 4th round of the Russian Premier League in an exclusive interview with the internet publication "Euro-Futbol.Ru". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
When asked if it was unexpected that "Dynamo" showed the worst season start in the last six years, Tochilin emphasized that many had hoped for better results. According to him, when a new coach arrives, time is needed, and it was hoped that Karpin would push the team forward during the preseason preparations.
However, such results are not visible so far, and only the coach knows the reasons for this. "Tochilin, yesterday 'Dynamo' could not win against 'Sochi'.
What is the reason for this?" In response, he said that the team should not make such mistakes. In his opinion, although "Sochi" did not actively attack, they managed to score a goal from a few opportunities.
"Dynamo" is not aggressive enough in attack, and the team needs to play more organized in defense. In the last round, other leading teams also lost points.
"Spartak" and "Zenit" were defeated. The most surprising situation for Tochilin was "Zenit" losing.
Due to the coaching change at "Akhmat", the players were motivated, but a different result was expected from "Zenit". Although the team attacked a lot, it was not enough for precise shots and victory.
The main aspect lacking in the attack is a striker who can execute the final shot. When asked if Semak would be dismissed if the results do not change, Tochilin noted that the management has confidence in Semak and that no hasty decisions will be made.
In his opinion, there is currently no game crisis in the team, but rather a lack of results. Semak has a long-term contract, and the management trusts him.
At the same time, if the team's results worsen, anything could happen. Author: Elena Grigoryevskaya
