Nikolai Larin: “Pinyaev was not particularly effective, the problem is constant”
Former director of the Chertanovo Academy Nikolai Larin assessed the performance of the academy’s student, Lokomotiv football player Sergei Pinyaev this season.
The 19-year-old Lokomotiv winger has 2 goals and 5 assists in 25 matches in all competitions this season.
“Nothing special happened to him.” This happens in football, sometimes you perform a little worse, sometimes a little better. A 19-year-old man, I don’t see a catastrophic decline. With Ural, he ran in at the end of the match and, like a master, gave an assist to Tiknizyan. In general, there is no colossal decline for Sergei, everything is fine.
Problem with decreased performance? He wasn’t particularly productive, the problem is constant. Since the age of 15, everyone writes about his psychological problems, but there is no such thing. The person’s head is in place, everything is fine,” Metaratings.ru quotes Larin as saying.
