When three points indispensable for life

It turned out that Baltika FC rolled down in the table and immediate decisions had to be taken or the club would be drowning and instead of a place among five best teams in the League as it was planned, we could find one somewhere in the bottom. 

That’s why after four losses in a row Z. Sanaya, Head Coach, had no time to think of the strategy for the game in Vladivostok, it was clear that even a draw would be a success. Before the match against Baltica Luch-Energy was the last team in the League. All the misfortunes lead to resignation of B. Zelkyavichus. It is not difficult to guess how prepared and motivated Luch players were.  The scoreboard fixed the fifth consecutive loss of Baltika with the score 2-0 to Luch. It meant that Z. Sanaya’s  resignation could happen already after the next away match in Khabarovsk without taking into account the final score there.  Even though we won scoring the winning goal at 82’ minutes (Zavaliy), Z. Sanaya and two his assistants – I. Zakharyak and A. Krasavin sent in their resignation. 

The situation made Baltika FC President E. Tivanenkov go to Moscow to start negotiations with possible candidates to take the post of the head coach. There are some of them: L. Tkachenko who has already taken the post twice (middle 90’s, 2005), Shevchenko who was Torpedo Moscow Head Coach and few others anonymous persons.  L. Tkachenko is likely to be back as the most experienced and skillful of the mentioned.
