Football expert Oleg Teryokhin shared his thoughts on the start of the season and the teams competing for the gold medals in an exclusive interview with the publication “Evro-Futbol.Ru.” This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the leader in the championship has changed again, and currently “Krasnodar” is in first place. However, since only seven rounds have been played, it is still too early to call anyone the leader.
The situation changes every round, and the leaders are losing points. The expert said he likes the play of the “Krasnodar” and CSKA teams.
Currently, the difference between the teams in the top two positions is only one point, which is not significant. Both teams play brightly and consistently, accumulating many points.
For this reason, the break given for national team matches does not benefit them; rather, players may lose their rhythm. This break only benefits teams that do not provide players to the national team.
The “Lokomotiv” team is currently in fourth place, but their results have declined due to their own carelessness. They drew two matches and lost points.
In the game, “Lokomotiv” is not inferior to “Krasnodar” and CSKA, but the result worsened because they could not concentrate in the final minutes of the match. The “Baltika” team is in third place, which is considered an excellent start for them.
They have played against strong opponents, collected many points, and remain undefeated in the championship. The main reason for this success is the coach who assembled the team.
There have been no major changes in the squad, only a few new players have been added. The team understands all the requirements well and plays by helping each other.
They do not have individual stars, but there are leaders in every line, so the game does not depend on a single player. It is difficult to say for sure about the possibility of “Baltika”’s performance declining because the team is currently confident and does not need a break.
They are considered the biggest discovery of the championship. The “Zenit” team is currently four points behind the leader and is below the prize positions by a difference of three points.
According to the expert, this is just the beginning, and “Zenit” is gradually improving their game. Their squad is very strong, and they remain among the main contenders for the championship.
The interview was conducted by Elena Grigorievskaya.
