Torpedo’s Survival Hopes: Demenko’s Take After Win

Former player of Moscow Spartak Maxim Demenko weighed in on the survival chances of the capital club Torpedo in the Russian Premier League after their 2-0 triumph over Voronezh Torch. He urged fans to stay hopeful, emphasizing that the fight for safety remains alive and the spark of competition is not yet extinguished. Demenko praised Torpedo for showing the kind of character that marks teams fighting to stay up, noting that the coach had unlocked a mindset that keeps players focused when the pressure is at its peak. He pointed out that playing at home gives the squad a crucial edge, and while Torpedo had struggled to secure wins across ten rounds, a new sense of cohesion had begun to emerge. In Demenko’s view, any coach facing a fresh challenge with new teammates knows that every point matters, and Torpedo now has eight more rounds to decide their fate. The immediate priority, he said, is securing a place in the play-offs, because beyond that, anything can happen in football, where the unpredictability of results can redefine the season in an instant.
