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.
Of course, it is possible to help and advise in some cases, but the first initiative must come from them, the expert believes. Aleksey Batrakov is currently one of the top scorers in the Russian championship, with the 20-year-old midfielder scoring six goals in four matches.
Additionally, he has scored two goals in the Fonbet Russian Cup. These results indicate that Batrakov is playing at a high level and has the potential to succeed in Europe in the future.
