The prominent football manager, while weighing in on the state of Torpedo Moscow, emphasized that the people in the team directly influence the disappointing outcomes for the Muscovites. The remarks were relayed for television audiences.
He stated that, by their schedule, the chances of saving the club are virtually non-existent. Torpedo seems unlikely to compete effectively this season, and the concerns extend beyond a single match or two. The observation reflects a broader sentiment that dysfunction within a squad can magnify misfortunes on the field. In his view, the club has become a cautionary example for elite brands facing a rough spell, and the situation has prompted critical reflection from supporters and observers alike.
At the moment, Torpedo sits near the bottom of the standings in the Russian Premier League after 25 rounds, accumulating 13 points. The Moscow club faces a real threat of relegation from Russia’s top flight. Leading the championship is Zenit Saint Petersburg, a club that has dominated much of the campaign and set the pace for the table.
Previously, there were discussions around the White-and-Blue team with hopes that, should momentum tilt in their favor, a championship corridor might be avoided for Zenit players. Observers noted that a successful surge in the 26th round could alter the dynamics, but the broader context suggested that decisive changes would be required to alter the trajectory of Torpedo in a league known for its competitiveness and unforgiving margins.
