Grigoryan: Karpukas is in the best condition on the field

Famous local coach Alexander Grigoryan shared his thoughts on the match between the capital's Lokomotiv and Sochi teams. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The first round match of the Russian championship ended with the railwaymen's victory of 3:0. According to Grigoryan, the most important thing for the team was the return of Artyom Karpukas, whose hair is curly, to the field.

Last season, he seemed almost invisible, but now he is showing his best form. The 23-year-old player, born in Biysk, has been playing in the main squad of Lokomotiv since 2021.

Last season, he mainly played as a defensive midfielder, appearing in 34 matches, scoring 1 goal, and providing 2 assists. These results indicate that he has increased his contribution to the team.

Additionally, the coach expressed hope that the team would show even better results in the upcoming matches.
