Russian coach Rinat Bilyaletdinov evaluated the prospects of Aleksey Batrakov, the midfielder of the Lokomotiv team, successfully transferring to Europe. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to the expert, there are many cases where talented players who leave the Russian championship fail to find their place abroad and become reserve players. Bilyaletdinov emphasizes that it is better to play than to sit on the bench. Some leave at 18 and often disappear. We should not force our players to move; they should come on their own.

In the Russian championship, Lokomotiv has not lost any points in four rounds, winning all four matches and accumulating 12 points. This result reflects the team's good current form, and they face the task of achieving even higher goals ahead.
