Moscow’s new head coach “Torpedo” Andrei Talalaev admitted that the team has problems with psychology.
– Your sentence after Lokomotiv: “For a long time I haven’t seen such a player take the ball in his own half, walk half the field and score like in the court.” Is this an isolated incident or a systemic level of protection problem?
– We must immediately make a reservation: in the last five matches, Torpedo has not had the same line of defense. Moreover, we lost the players who played the most matches: Netfullin and Kutepov. On the contrary, the rule worked: it is impossible to defend well when you do not score. In the first half, Lokomotiv once dangerously threatened the goal at the end, and we had three chances to score. If they had scored, the game would have gone very differently.
There is a psychological trust issue. Players just don’t have it. The worst is not the goal conceded, but the reaction to it: we could not approach the opposing penalty area for 12 and a half minutes. Adult football players shouldn’t react like this, Talalaev told Sport24.
