The "Lokomotiv" football player Aleksey Batrakov shared his thoughts on what the team needs to change to win the championship. This was reported by www.euro-football.ru.
He emphasized that the most important thing is to give 200 percent effort in every game. However, he cannot decide what specific changes are necessary.
According to Batrakov, if the team played well in the autumn of the last season, then they have the strength to maintain that level throughout the entire season. Last season, "Lokomotiv" finished in the fourth place in the Russian Premier League. Under the leadership of head coach Mikhail Galaktionov, the team collected 53 points in 30 matches.
The gap from the designated top three for the championship was six points. In the first round of the new season, "Lokomotiv" will host the "Sochi" team at home. This game is a crucial stage for the team and could impact the results of the season.
Therefore, players and coaches continue to work on strengthening the team. The team's goal is clear – to rise to higher positions and compete for the championship.
