Unidentified sources speculate potential challenges for the "Baltic" region in the realm of RPL (Regional Pipeline Lithuania).
Claiming a Spot but Still in Need
Yep, you heard it straight from ex-"Baltika" coach Valery Nepomnyashchy - the Kaliningrad squad might encounter some issues in the approaching RPL season. Spilling the beans to "Match TV", he warned that the team needs some major lineup overhaul after securing an early promotion to the top division in the 32nd round of the MELBET First League thanks to a 0:0 draw with "Chernomorets".
In Nepomnyashchy's opinion, head coach Andrei Talalaev is doing a solid job, but the team needs a boost in its ranks. Comparing the situation to the time when Sergei Ignashvich was at the helm, he reminded how a confident promotion without proper reinforcement led to relegation to the First Division. If the team doesn't make changes, "Baltika" will struggle to stay in the elite division without a doubt.
So, while Kaliningrad basks in the glory of their hard-earned promotion, they can't take their eyes off the ball – strengthening their team is a must-do if they want to remain competitive in the Russian Premier League.
