Former coach of “Rostov” Sergei Balakhnin admitted to “Euro‑Futbol.Ru” that he does not believe in the possibility of the Rostovites finishing the season in the first three winners of the RPL, but hopes for it.
Beating of “Krasnodar” “Rostov” with a score of 3:0 in the match of the 28th day of the WORLD RPL.
– What’s going on with Rostov? Do you have an explanation?
– It is difficult to name the reason for the defeat. It’s already a system. After all, there isn’t just one failed game. It’s been going on for a long time. It is clear that the team did not support the fight, the tension. The guys are young and they’ve probably already given up on the medal hunt. Of course, it’s too early to officially talk about it, but judging by the game, medal claims are unlikely. Krasnodar played a tough game in the middle of the week, and I thought the Rostovites would have a functional and emotional advantage. Still, Krasnodar’s advance to the Cup final took a lot of energy. Moreover, Galitsky’s team must take care of her before the final. Latent, it should sit in the heads of the players. But Rostov lost everything in such a situation. The first two goals were particularly disappointing. They were scored in the center of the goal, where the team was lined up, was in a defensive position – it’s all in front of our eyes. And the throw behind his back is not at the level of a club fighting for medals.
– Can we say that the first two goals made the game and overthrew Rostov?
– Yes. But it’s not even about those two bullets. The Rostovites in general lost everything. Krasnodar was stronger. And the goals conceded, of course, had a psychological impact on Karpin’s team. She needed to change her game, to plan. Therefore, nothing happened. Again, it’s not even important that Rostov lost, but that it was the same in previous encounters.
– Why can’t Karpin face this situation? The trainer is experienced.
“He gets the best out of guys. They endured up to a point. And they can’t stand the decisive medal race. I see.
– What are the prospects for “Rostov” in second place? There is also “Akhmat” pressing on the heels. “Rostov” can generally fall back to fifth place if they continue in this spirit.
– The next match will be with Akhmat. In general, I don’t believe that Rostov will compete for the top three, but I hope. I proceed from reality, from the game of the team. After such an unsuccessful series of matches, no one will say that it is certain that Karpin’s team will be in the top three. It cannot be transformed with the snap of a finger.
Rostov has 50 points and 4th place. For Valery Karpin’s team, this defeat was the third in a row in the Russian championship.
