Football expert Valeriy Gladilin gave an exclusive interview to the publication “Evro-Futbol.Ru” about the results of the seventh round of the Russian championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He described some of the results in this round as unexpected. For example, it was surprising to him that “Spartak” did not secure a clear victory against “Sochi”.
“Spartak’s” performance was not at the expected level, although they had left a good impression in previous matches. Also, “Akron’s” loss to “Baltika” at home was an unexpected event.
“Baltika” remains in the leading group due to their physical preparedness, but according to the expert, they will not be able to maintain the lead until the end of the season. Gladilin said that the competition among the leaders proceeded as expected.
The exclusion of “Krasnodar” forward Cordoba from the game was considered excessive by the expert, as this situation harmed the team. “CSKA” did not lose any points because “Krasnodar” is regarded as a strong opponent.
“Lokomotiv” is losing many points in the second halves, which indicates a decline in the team’s self-confidence. The departure of players to the national team during the season may negatively affect the team’s results.
As for the “Dinamo” team, they have yet to secure a victory. The head coach Karpin’s statements about leaving the team were assessed as a result of temporary emotions.
According to the expert, patience is needed with the team because the squad is strong and will show better results next season. Overall, teams are facing some difficulties this season, but their performance is expected to improve in the future.
