Tochilin: There is still a lack of stability at Lokomotiv

Football expert Aleksandr Tochilin shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview about the results of the seventh round of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, the draw between CSKA and Krasnodar was a fair result for the game. The referees' important decisions did not clearly indicate which team deserved to be in first place.

It is said that CSKA's attacks became more complicated after Cordoba was sent off the field. This situation negatively affected the team, as they lost the free zones on the pitch.

For players like Glebov, who are fast and inclined to play freely on the field, such conditions caused difficulties. The Lokomotiv team lost a victory in the match against Krylya Sovetov.

According to the expert, this problem is related to the team's psychological weakness carried over from the previous season. The team lacks sufficient confidence and stability, which especially shows in the second half of the game.

At the same time, the team still does not fall out of the leading group, since other clubs are also not showing stable performances. Spartak achieved a hard-fought victory over Sochi, but the expert emphasized that this team has not yet reached good form.

Spartak's main rival is itself, and the team's play depends more on mood. Dynamo, meanwhile, has again failed to secure a win.

Following the matches, head coach Karpin stated his readiness to leave his position. The expert assessed these statements as mainly based on emotions.

The team can only overcome the situation through hard work and unity. According to Karpin, the players are not performing at their level.

How his departure to the national team will affect Dynamo will become clear over time. Sometimes a coach's temporary absence can be beneficial for the team, as it can improve the psychological state and allow for the implementation of new plans.
