Andrey Talalaev, coach of “Baltika”, discussed the potential of the team's players and expressed his opinion about the need to improve the quality of rotation players.
The main coach of "Baltika", Andrey Talalaev, gave a statement regarding the potential of the players in his team.
— Remember, last winter I mentioned about Cordoba? We're getting to that. "Krasnodar" played well in the Cup final. Do they have moments? Yes. Did they lose badly to "Spartak"? No. However, when you don't have a goal-scoring spearhead, all the team's efforts are in vain. We have very thoroughly analyzed the last eight matches and prepared a report for the management. Some people said we would be physically drained or psychologically exhausted. — Are we running out of steam? — No. In terms of movement activity, we actually increased. The last 15-30 minutes of those eight games we played even better than at the start of the season. However, unfortunately, the level of execution did not allow us to convert these efforts into points. This is not only reflected in goals scored and conceded, but also in moments created, xG. We outperformed almost all the teams in the number of passes, deliveries and duels. I read your interview with Musaev — and I'm ready to sign off on everything he says. He said many things. Together with him, you have raised an important theme: the number of strong starts and the decline of “Krasnodar” towards the end of the season. We — on the contrary, improved! However, it still doesn't produce results. It's clear that we won't find a second Boris and a second Hilya. And the club does not have such capabilities. All of us together — me, the sports director and the general manager — are well aware of the policies of “Rostekhnadzor” as the main shareholders of the club and the region. From our side, a desire has been heard: reduce dependence on leaders who determine the productivity of the game. And for this, it is necessary to increase the level of rotation players: a) through selection, b) through training work. Therefore, I say that this training camp will be more difficult for many people than before," Talalaev said in an exclusive interview with "Championship" correspondent Oleg Lysenko.
