“Lokomotiv-Kuban “In the last matches he didn’t look like himself, but these failures should irritate the players and force the team to win,” the Krasnodar defender told . Vladislav Emchenko .
At the start of the VTB United League season, last season’s runner-up Lokomotiv-Kuban won one victory and suffered three defeats. On Wednesday, the railway workers will meet Krasnoyarsk Yenisei in an away match of the VTB League.
— What, in your opinion, are the reasons for Lokomotiv’s failed start?
— Yes, we didn’t start the season as planned: one victory in four matches. Not at all what we wanted. The causes ? Well, we’re not like us at all. There are mistakes in the defense, there is a misunderstanding here. In attack, sometimes we don’t move the ball or we don’t execute combinations. In general, we slump sometimes. I’m not saying in any way that we played poorly the whole game. It’s wrong. But there are enough times when we just don’t look the same. Of course, we face teams that are also far from being of a weak standard, and we are punished for that.
— What is the psychological state of the team after these failures?
– Well, naturally, we are not happy. We have three defeats and one victory. However, I think this should encourage us to develop within ourselves a sporting anger: what if we lose? We need to turn all this into a plus for ourselves: to play even more aggressively and as a team,” Yemchenko told the correspondent.
