Galaktionov: It would have been different if the Sochi goal was taken into account

The head coach of the Lokomotiv team, Mikhail Galaktionov, shared his thoughts for Match TV after the game against the Sochi team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

In response to a question about Zelimkhan Bakayev, the coach said: "It is not easy to enter such a game; there is a lot of struggle and physical clashes. He needed a little time to adapt to the game.

For about five to ten minutes, he tried to get into the game. Then he moved well in ball possession, in wing passes, and in one-on-one situations, converting a goal-scoring opportunity.

It was a good performance." In response to a question about Karpuqas returning to his level from previous seasons, Galaktionov said: "We do not live in the past and do not want to go back. We know he can play even stronger.

Today he showed a good and stable game. However, he needs to develop further and sharpen his game more.

These demands will help his growth." When asked about the final score of 3:0, the coach replied: "This result is good; it is joyful to win and maintain the score. However, we should not get overly confident with this score; there is still a lot of work ahead.

The team needs to prepare thoroughly for future games. For example, today the opponent was given some opportunities in certain situations, and we need to work on these aspects.

It is necessary to move forward after the game."
