Olga Smorodskaya previously served as the president of the Lokomotiv football club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
She emphasized that it is still too early for the team's midfielder Aleksey Batrakov to move to European clubs. According to Smorodskaya, Batrakov needs to learn the language first and develop mentally.
In her opinion, the player still needs to work on himself, gain experience, and acquire knowledge. Currently, Batrakov is 20 years old and has managed to score seven goals in five matches across all competitions this season.
These results are considered a good indicator for a young player. The Lokomotiv club is currently in first place in the Russian Premier League, four points ahead of its closest rival, Krylya Sovetov.
The club's management and specialists are paying special attention to the development of young players. Smorodskaya noted that it is still too early for Batrakov to move to Europe, and he must first prepare himself in all aspects.
Therefore, for now, Batrakov's main task is to work on himself and gain experience within the team.
