Former president of the "Lokomotiv" club Nikolay Naumov expressed hope for a positive result for the team in the match against "Krasnodar" in the second round of the Russian Premier League in an interview with the Euro-Football.Ru network publication. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In his opinion, "Lokomotiv" should not play openly, otherwise they may concede three goals. He emphasized the need to create strong pressure in midfield with the help of Karpyukas and Barinov to stop Spertsyan's game.
Additionally, it is important to limit Kordob's play, as these two players have a significant impact on the team. According to Naumov, "Lokomotiv" should try to change the score through counterattacks.
He hopes that the team will achieve at least a draw. "Krasnodar" showed a weak performance in the first round, and their current state is much lower than expected improvements, so "Lokomotiv" has opportunities for victory or a positive result.
The match between "Krasnodar" and "Lokomotiv" will start on July 26 at 19:00 Moscow time.
