Head coach Tancho Kalpakov made a candid comment after the devastating defeat of his team Montana by Lokomotiv Sofia with an impressive 0:3 result in the third round of the First League.
In an emotional statement, the specialist emphasized the serious psychological problems among the players. "The result shows that the team is experiencing significant difficulties with its internal stability," Kalpakov was adamant.
The coach highlighted several key moments from the match. The quick lead by the home team and the subsequent loss of discipline among the players are among the main reasons for the rout. "Lokomotiv demonstrated exceptional tactical maturity and effectiveness," the specialist commented.
Kalpakov did not hide that the team is in a process of building and adaptation. The new additions are not yet fully integrated, which further complicates the team's performance. "The current uncertainty seriously hinders the players," the coach emphasized.
Despite the heavy defeat, the coach remains optimistic. "We also see positive aspects that give us reason to believe that we can improve," he said. Kalpakov stressed the need to work on the psychological resilience of the players.
The upcoming training sessions will be focused on restoring self-confidence and building team spirit among Montana's players.
