Andrey Talalaev, head coach of the "Baltika" team, gave a pre-match interview to the "Match TV" channel before the game against CSKA. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He shared his thoughts on the current state of the team and preparations for the game. The "Baltika" team is considered a regular team promoted from the first league.
Currently, after 9 rounds, they have collected 17 points and occupy one of the leading positions in the competition table. According to the head coach, it is difficult to change the team's spirit all at once.
The players are gradually growing and developing, but the winning spirit and experience are not at the same level as those of the "army men". The CSKA team is known as the team that scores the most goals in fast attacks in the championship.
For this reason, special attention was paid to this aspect during the preparation process. Talalaev described CSKA and "Krasnodar" as the most skillful and strong opponents.
They field fast and agile players and try to showcase their style. The team strives to demonstrate its strengths.
There are also changes in the starting lineup. For example, Offor will play from the first minutes for the first time in today's game.
The head coach based this decision on CSKA's goal-scoring statistics in the first and second halves. According to him, CSKA scores 75 percent of their goals in the first half, so they try to play in the second half.
Overall, the "Baltika" team aims to show their capabilities and prove their strength in competing against the opponent. The game against CSKA is expected to be interesting and challenging.
