Ex-president “Torpedo” Alexander Tukmanov, in a conversation with , expressed the opinion that this season “blacks and whites” will fight for survival.
In the first two rounds of the MIR RPL, Torpedo lost to Sochi (1:3) and Dynamo (0:4).
– Does Torpedo correspond to the RPL level now? You know, Premier League teams differ in composition and skills: some are stronger and some are weaker. “Torpedo” probably belongs to the second group of teams. And the most that the “blacks and whites” can do is, probably, to fight to catch up with the RPL. But with the game the team is showing today, it will be very difficult to do that. I see several reasons for this: first, of course, is the lack of enough RPL level players. We know that Kutepov is still sick. Maybe with his arrival, if he gets back in shape, the team will feel better. And the second, of course, is the lack of good hitters. The level of play in the Premier League is much higher than in the FNL – everyone understands that. Of course, today’s squad leaves a lot to be desired.
Does Borodyuk pull RPL level? Alexandre is an experienced trainer. It’s not the first time he’s worked as a head coach, Torpedo isn’t his first team. Moreover, he has experience in the national team. In a nutshell, he knows all the nuances of football. But another thing is which performers he works with. This, in my opinion, is the key point. If there is an opportunity to complete the squad with the players the coach would like to see in his roster, of course Torpedo will change. If you believe the thoughts and ideas of club shareholders who wish to restore Torpedo to its former glory, this must of course be addressed thoroughly and at the appropriate cost. I don’t know exactly how ready the club owners are for this – it’s hard for me to judge.
Of course, the situation can be improved. Everything will depend on the psychological stability and mobilization of the players. How will they solve the tactical tasks that the coach sets. But you can improve the situation just enough to fight for your survival in the RPL. With today’s lineup, I won’t dare to talk about anything else, Tukmanov told .
