Vadim Garanin, former head coach of the Sochi team, shared his opinion about Lokomotiv's prospects in the Russian Premier League (RPL) this season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the "railwaymen" team has gained significant experience. Young players are trying to take on more responsibility, which makes the team under Mikhail Galaktionov even more competitive.
Garanin emphasized that this season there is an interesting competition in the RPL, and the fight for the top positions is not as easy and predictable as before. In previous seasons, the Zenit team used to take the lead from the early rounds.
Garanin said that he had predicted Lokomotiv would compete for the highest positions. Although the team did not perform as expected in the second half of last season, the young players gained a lot of experience and learned to take responsibility.
For this reason, following the Russian Premier League is very interesting right now. Currently, the capital team has collected 15 points and occupies fourth place in the standings after seven rounds.
This result is an important step towards Lokomotiv's high goals for the season. The team's play and results are being closely watched by fans and experts.
