Semin: " Torbinskiy didn't show the right dedication"

In an interview with "SE" head coach "Lokomotiv" Semin, among other things, explained why one of the recent leaders of the team, was moved to the youth team

On Sunday, your team won a second victory in the championship, which seems more meaningful than winning against Krylia.Did success in the derby with Dynamo brought you satisfaction?

- Any victory that give us three points make me happy. I'm glad from the fact that Lokomotiv scored three goals and took over a team that in the first rounds, look very preferable to win the championship.Whatever the results were, in all three games of Dynamo they played strongly. But we were able to outplay them, whish is encouraging. Moreover, the calendar we have is very busy.

- But it is difficult for almost all contenders for the title.

-  Our particularly is the most difficult one.  We played away against Rubin and Spartak and now we have to visit Zenit and CSKA.

- But with Spartak you played in Moscow.

-  Yes, but it was on artificial surface and judging by the results we don't feel very comfortable at it.

- How do you evaluate the start of the season of "Zenith" ?

-  I really like them in the match with Dinamo. Danny was awsome.

- Which line of Locomotive, you are worried about ?

-  It is the defence. We miss too many balls.

- Will Torbinskiy  be long time in the youth team?

- It's hard to say. Ait is normal part of the work. If a person have played very badly in the previous matches and there are people that are better than him, I think that is a normal decision. Rotation require players when they are on the field, even for five minutes, to be aware of the responsibility in front of spectators, the club and his managers. For me the most important thing is to see the dedication. If he is not ready physically or psychologically, he must give place to another teammate.

- Judging by your words, you have not see dedication from Torbinskiy?

- Exactly. I saw only one bad game against Spartak.
